Raila appears on CNN, reveals NASA's next political step

Kenya's opposition leader Raila Odinga has opened up to CNN International, hours after his arch-rival President Uhuru Kenyatta was inaugurated for his second term.

Uhuru and his Deputy William Ruto were sworn-in on Tuesday at Kasarani stadium.

Raila and his NASA coalition has since vowed not to recognise him as president, saying he is an illegitimate president following a boycotted fresh presidential election on October 26.

During an interview with CNN from his Capitol Hill offices on Wednesday, the former prime minister told the world that his NASA coalition "will abide by the constitution."

The statement came after he declared that he would be sworn in as Kenya's fifth president on December 12, a day Kenyans will be celebrating Jamhuri Day.

According to him, he will be sworn in by the people through his People's Assembly as the Constitution clearly says the sovereignty lies with the people.

Odinga vowed to give Uhuru's government sleepless nights until he is ejected and Kenyans get electoral justice and right to their democratic freedom.

If he swears himself in, Odinga risks being hanged for treason.
