Former Nairobi gubernatorial candidate Miguna Miguna has blasted President Uhuru Kenyatta ahead of his swearing-in scheduled to take place on Tuesday next week.
The controversial lawyer said on Tuesday that the ceremony was a normal occasion and should not be taken seriously.
He likened it to what happened when Robert Mugabe and Idi Amin Dada took oath of office in their respective countries.
“Being sworn in is not a big deal. It doesn't vest LEGITIMACY on despotic imposters like Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto. Robert Mugabe, Idi Amin Dada, Mobutu Sese Seko, Jean-Bedel Bokassa and Adolf Hitler had all been sworn-in. #NRM is not backing down! #Resist #RailaReturns,” Miguna posted on social media.
Former Tiaty Member of Parliament (MP) Asman Kamama on Tuesday took a swipe at National Super Alliance (NASA) leaders for their plan to swear in Raila Odinga as president.
Kamama blasted the leaders saying that such a move should be met with the full force of the law by relevant authorities.
He said that the Supreme Court decision was final and the Government should block the NASA brigade from their plan.
"Ensure no parallel swearing-in ceremony is held anywhere. The Supreme Court's decision is final,” said Kamama.
He pointed out that the law was very clear on who should swear in the President on Tuesday, November 28.
"It is criminal for a civilian to endorse a fellow civilian to become president. This is a big joke. Chief Justice David Maraga shall swear-in the president-elect. So, anything done in the bush or at somebody's home is unconstitutional and illegal,” he added.
NASA chiefs are also planning to swear in Raila Odinga as President of the People’s Republic of Kenya on Tuesday next week.
The Supreme Court unanimously upheld the re-election of Uhuru paving way for his swearing in for second term in office.
The court nullified the August 8 election on account of illegalities and irregularities.
Among the faults found by the highest court in the land is lack of proper transmission system and at the same time use of forms which did not have security features.
This time, the court unanimously upheld President Uhuru’s re-election throwing out the petitions on grounds that they were not merited.
