Siaya senator James Orengo has said the opposition NASA coalition does not recognise the October 26 repeat presidential election.
Orengo said that should the IEBC go ahead and declare President Uhuru Kenyatta winner in the repeat polls, NASA will have no alternative but swear in the 'duly elected' Raila Odinga using the August 8 election results.
“We will use August 8 results to swear NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga if Uhuru Kenyatta tries to use October 26 poll results to be sworn in,” said Orengo.
"Sisi hatumtambui Uhuru kama Rais wa Kenya na NASA pia haimtambui, sheria inasema serikali ya Kenya itaundwa kikatiba. It is our decision that Uhuru cannot use the October 26 election results to be sworn in, that will be an act of treason," he added.
The legislator further said their intelligence team had revealed to them how Uhuru rigged the election by cooking up figures at the IEBC.
“The executive authority of Republic of Kenya is with the people of Kenya, the constitution says you have the sovereign authority. Uhuru does not have sovereign authority, you people have,” Orengo said.
Orengo argued that it was time Kenyans reclaimed their country by executing their powers either directly or indirectly in a constitutionally accepted manner.
“We must get our country back, tumeanza safari sasa. Former President Daniel Moi said Kenya is a unitary state but later agreed that we have multiparty after Raila Odinga fought for it," he said.
“Raila Odinga alipambana na Kenyatta wa kwanza mpaka akafa, Moi alienda nyumbani baada ya kufunga Raila, Kibaki joked with Raila and he went home, Uhuru Kenyatta will go home and Raila Odinga will come to be the President of Kenya,” said Orengo.
He added that starting Monday next week, the nation will take a direction President Kenyatta has never known.
