Attorney General Githu Mugai has come out to give two reasons why the People's Assembly is illegal.
This is after NASA allied county assemblies passed motions approving the formation of the assemblies.
So far, 12 counties have adopted the motion, with Machakos being the latest.
Speaking on Thursday, Muigai stated that the Kenyan constitution does not recognize The People's Assembly.“The People’s Assembly is an institution totally unknown to the constitution of Kenya and totally unknown to the County Governments Act," said Muigai.
He further stated that the Kenyan has delegated its duties to any entity.
"Parliament has not delegated any such power and the consequence for that is that those institutions are unconstitutional, illegal and are null and void,” said Muigai.
NASA has resolved to using the People's Assembly to ensure the governments conducts reforms in the country's electoral system.
NASA is planning to swear in leader Raila Odinga on December 12 a move the state has termed as treason and punishable by death.
