Kenya’s president is ruling out dialogue with the opposition leader who boycotted the recent election and plans a mock “inauguration” next week.
The government says Raila Odinga’s planned “swearing-in” on Tuesday would amount to treason.
Odinga brought a successful legal challenge against Kenyatta’s August re-election but boycotted the repeat vote in October, saying there had not been enough electoral reforms to guarantee a credible vote.
Odinga says he doesn’t recognise Kenyatta’s legitimacy, but he has said he is open to talks to defuse the current tensions if there is a specific agenda.
