<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">If the requirement of the law is that there
must a declaration of results of an election and the person who is declared to
have won the presidential election is then sworn in, if a citizen decides to
carry out a swearing in ceremony, not having been declared by the IEBC to be a
victor in an election, how does that act become treasonous?</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<span><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Any citizen can decide to swear
in himself as President and call his or her local priest. How is that
treasonous? It would have no legal effect.</span></span></span><br />

<span><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">We know what the legal
requirement for an effective act of the assumption of the Office of the President
requires: If a citizen undertakes a process that has none of those
underpinnings it will have no legal effect.</span></span></span><br />

<span><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Whoever is talking of treason may
just be looking to make a mountain out of a molehill, but there is certainly
going to be a political statement being made.</span></span></span><br />

<span><span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Any call to characterise the second
swearing-in as treason is nothing more than a political statement. The
determination of Petition Nos. 2 and 4 of 2017 by the Supreme Court of Kenya
delivered on Monday affirming the election on October 26, 2017, of His
Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta marks the close of the 2017 presidential
elections.</span></span></span><br />

A section of Jubilee MPs  told off their NASA colleagues who have vowed to swear in opposition chief Raila Odinga.<br />
The
 MPs Nelson Koech (Belgut), Hillary Koskei (Kipkelion East), William 
Cheptumo (Baringo North), William Chepkut (Ainabkoi), Julius Melly 
(Tinderet) and Oscar Sudi (Kapseret) dismissed the plan, saying it has 
no basis in law.<br />
"This is a clear indication of 
desperation by the opposition that has found it difficult to accept the 
will of the people. It is high time NASA came out and told their 
supporters the truth that Jubilee won the election," Koech said.<br />
<br />
Whether Raila will be sworn in or not let Kenya move forward from politics. We want to get back in business.<br />
