Opposition politicians have dared the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission to declare Uhuru Kenyatta and his running mate William Ruto, victors of the October 26 repeat poll.
The politicians on Saturday, October 28, said if the commission dares to declare Uhuru as President-elect, they will go ahead and swear in their party leader Raila Odinga as President.
Siaya Senator James Orengo (also lawyer and Nasa strategist) and former Machakos Senator Johson Muthama, said they do not recognize Uhuru Kenyatta as the President of Kenya.
Speaking in Mavoko, Machakos County, the politicians who were flanked with their Nasa colleagues reiterated that Raila remains the people’s president.
In tow was area MP Patrick Makau, former Kakamega Senator Bonny Khalwale and MCAs Daniel Mbevi (Mlolongo) and Robert Kisini (Athi River) wards.
“We will use August 8 results to swear Nasa presidential candidate Raila Odinga if Uhuru Kenyatta tries to use October 26 poll results to be sworn in,” Orengo said.
Adding: “Sisi hatumtambui Uhuru kama Rais wa Kenya na Nasa pia haimtambui, sheria inasema serikali ya Kenya itaundwa kikatiba. It is our decision that Uhuru cannot use the October 26 election results to be sworn in, that will be an act of treason”.
Orengo went on to add that their sources indicated Uhuru’s votes in the October 26 election were cooked up figures.
“The executive authority of Republic of Kenya is with the people of Kenya, the constitution says you have the sovereign authority. Uhuru does not have sovereign authority, you people have,” Orengo noted.
“We must get our country back, tumeanza safari sasa. Former President Daniel Moi said Kenya is a unitary state but later agreed that we have multiparty after Raila Odinga fought for it,
“Raila Odinga alipambana na Kenyatta wa kwanza mpaka akafa, Moi alienda nyumbani baada ya kufunga Raila, Kibaki joked with Raila and he went home, Uhuru Kenyatta will go home and Raila Odinga will come to be the President of Kenya,” added Orengo.
He warned Uhuru that starting from Monday, the nation will take a route President Uhuru Kenyatta has never imagined.
