NASA leader Raila Odinga's planned swearing will be inconsequential, a lawmaker has said.
Sirisia MP John Waluke has said Raila's move is a waste of time since President Uhuru Kenyatta is the real President.
He told journalists in Eldoret on Sunday that the swearing will only be an attempt by the Opposition chief to remain politically relevant.
"It will not help him in any way. He should end this year by quitting politics for younger generations to take over in the opposition," Waluke said.
"Odinga (Raila) will be taking oath as who or to be what. May be as president of Gor Mahia or AFC Leopards. The teams also have their leadership in place."
The lawmaker said that Raila has outlived his political "sell by" date and that it is time he exits the political scene.
"The whole world knows that Uhuru won two elections in which Raila was a candidate and lost. There is no way he can claim to have won."
