Quote:As Opposition leader Raila Odinga prepares for his swearing-in, Attorney General Githu Muigai has warned that treason is punishable by death.
“The criminal law of the Republic of Kenya, in Article 40 of the penal code provides or stipulates that that sort of process, is high treason,” he noted.
Treason, concealment of treason and subversion charges were used to detain and imprison numerous critics of the Moi regime. The adoption of the 2010 constitution did not lead to a repeal or amendment of these laws.
Subsequent to the 1982 coup, 12 plotters - including armaments technician Corporal Bramwel Njereman, Corporal Walter Ojode, Hezekiah Ochuka and Pancras Otenyo - were convicted of treason and sentenced to death.
The men were executed on the night of July 10, 1985 at Kamiti Maximum Security Prison.
At the end of the putsch, a total of 12 people had been sentenced to death and more than 900 jailed.
Raila wants to be inaugurated through the People's Assembly.
