Kenyans up in arms online after Matiang’i declared NRM an organized criminal group

Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiang’i has outlawed National Super Alliance (NASA)’s National Resistance Movement (NRM).

In a Gazette Notice dated January 30th 2018, Dr Matiang’i declared NRM an organised criminal group as per the Prevention of Organised Crimes Act, 2010.

This came moments after NASA leader Raila Odinga was ‘sworn in’ as the People’s President in a packed Uhuru Park.

National Resistance Movement is no criminal group- it is just another option that Kenya believes in more than they do in their current government and that scares some individuals #NASAOathDay— Aquinas Nzomo (@AquinasNzomo) January 31, 2018

"National Resistance Movement" I really wonder whether CS Matiang'i is sober.. How can you declare NRM as organized criminal group and yet you are not talking about Mungiki Nairobi business community? You're being used in the wrong way

The National Resistance Movement will still stand. It is not a must we call it NRM we can change the name to something else. The people remain the same. @FredMatiangi is just confused. #NASAOathDay #NASASwearingIn #FreedomIsComing #Resist

I dont understand at what level did the "National Resistance Movement" become a criminal organisation when Nairobi itself is full of criminal gangs making our lives a living hell. This country will kill me with its misplaced priorities ????????#RailaSwearingIn #NASAOathDay— Terry Leakes (@TerryLeakes_254) January 30, 2018

Finally, it's no secret that Raila Odinga's National Resistance Movement (NRM) has been declared a criminal group in line with 2010 constitution. Period

If @FredMatiangi can declare the National Resistance movement worthy more than 5M followers a criminal organization,what will we declare the dreadlocks men calling themselves Nairobi Business Men led by Kuria as. Crime qualification has changed in kenya.— musungu kelvin (@musunguk) January 30, 2018
