As far as I am concerned, the legitimacy of Raila’s swearing-in wouldn’t even be discussed based on any parameters whatsoever. I am speaking as someone who has been an admirer of Raila Odinga for close to a decade now. What struck me during the swearing-in ceremony, which had been conveniently postponed a couple of times, was that Raila is trying too hard to remain relevant to his supporters. If I had been Uhuru, I would have allowed Raila to remain relevant to his supporters by making sure that security forces were around the clock to provide security to the people gathered in Uhuru Park. Complete disregard to the rule of law is akin to living in a jungle, where life is for the fittest.
