Chief Justice David Maraga has disowned a letter purportedly from his office warning judges against presiding over Raila Odinga's presidential oath.
Opposition NASA has insisted that the swearing-in shall go on as planned adding that the venue still remains at Uhuru Park.
"The swearing-in shall go on as planned. We shall be at Uhuru Park and that is a guarantee to our supporters," said Miguna Miguna.
Efforts to have Raila halt his plans have hit a snug even as NASA unveiled 2017 presidential results at Intercontinental Hotel on Friday.
And at Mombasa during the induction of parliamentary legal committee, Maraga said he has no powers to sanction judges from swearing-in any Kenyan.
"My roles are clearly stipulated in the constitution. I am not aware of such a letter from my office. I do not have powers to sanction judges from swearing-in any Kenyan," he said.
Constitutional amendments on electoral laws of 2017 allows any judge to preside over swearing-in of a president-elect as announced by electoral commission.
