Gatundu South Member of Parliament (MP) Moses Kuria has blasted Opposition leader, Raila Odinga, following his hardline stance that he will be sworn in on Jamhuri Day.

Speaking to congregants at St Massimo Catholic Church at Mikinduri, Meru county on Sunday, Mr Kuria asked Raila to forget about the presidency.

He added that the former Prime Minister will commit treason and such an action shall be punished as the law stipulates.

"The constitution is clear that you can't have two presidents. When you are sworn in, go home to your wife, not to State House. Being sworn in will mean you have committed treason and the punishment of treason is death by hanging. I tell Raila that Kenya is not his," stressed Kuria.

The Opposition leader sent out invitations to his swearing in scheduled to take place on Jamhuri Day.

The invitation posted on NASA’s Telegram channel on Friday, stated the swearing in would take place on December 12, 2017.

The venue of the inauguration, however, was not disclosed.

It also indicated guests would also be vetted before gracing the controversial ceremony.

The Judiciary also stated on Friday that it had not received any formal communication from the National Super Alliance (NASA) about the inauguration.

"The Judiciary has not been notified on the inauguration ceremony planned by the Opposition party," said Chief Registrar of the Judiciary Anne Amadi.

Ms Amadi spoke at Pride Inn Hotel.
