NAIROBI, Jan. 31 (Xinhua) -- The Kenyan government has declared the opposition coalition's National Super Alliance (NASA)'s wing, the National Resistance Movement (NRM), as an organized criminal group.
Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i said in a gazette notice dated Jan. 30 outlawed the movement as per the Prevention of Organized Crimes Act, 2010.
Matiang'i issued the notice just hours after NASA leader Raila Odinga was sworn in as the "People's President" at Uhuru Park in Nairobi.
NRM, a wing of NASA, was formed in October last year on the eve of repeat presidential elections.
During its launch last year, Odinga said NASA's resistance wing would embark on vigorous pro-democracy campaign through economic boycotts and picketing and other legitimate forms of protests until a legitimate presidency is restored.
