Prof Makau Mutua has slammed Attorney General Prof Githu Muigai, after he warned that National Super Alliance (Nasa) leader Raila Odinga's would be charged for treason if he goes ahead and swears himself-in as president.
On Thursday, Muigai addressed the press and warned that Odinga's swearing-in will be illegal.
Odinga has vowed to inaugurate himself on December 12, saying his coalition and supporters do not recognise Uhuru Kenyatta as president.
However, Mutua, a Kenyan-American professor of law and a strong critic of Uhuru's government said Muigaai's statement was not legal but political. "AG Muigai’s statement of an Odinga presidential oath as treason is political, not legal," Mutua who at one time said he does not recognise Uhuru as his president, said.
"Nowhere does the constitution forbid such an oath. Stop Njonjo-like pronouncements, Mr Muigai," he added through a tweet.
