Attorney General Githu Muigai. [the-star.co.ke]The government will not take Nasa leader Raila Odinga's plans to swear himself in as President lying down, Attorney General Githu Muigai has said.Muigai speaking during a press conference on Thursday reiterated his earlier position that Odinga will be committing traeson if he goes ahead to swear himself on Tuesday as the fifth President of Kenya. The action of having a parallel government, Githu said, amounts to treason and is punishable by death."The punishment of committing treason is death. The swearing-in of any person not declared by IEBC, and who did not win the election, is unacceptable," Muigai told the press on Thursday.He added that the criminal law of the Republic of Kenya stipulates that this sort of process is high treason. It is high treason of the persons involved and any other person facilitating that process.Githu further noted that if an inauguration is not by Chief Justice David Maraga, it is null, void and illegalThe government has warned that NASA leaders will be punished if they carry out the audacious plan.Githu has been consistent that any presidential inauguration by Nasa will be violation of Article 3(2) of the constitution, obligating everyone to uphold and respect it."Any attempt to establish a government otherwise than in the compliance with this constitution is unlawful," says Subsection 2.NASA, however, cites Article 1 which gives all sovereign power to the Kenyan people, as justification for their move that is part of a larger resistance place.
