NASA supporters were on Thursday directed to remove all of president Uhuru Kenyatta's portraits from their business premises.

"We are ordering NRM soldiers to take down Uhuru portraits

from all homes, businesses and every premise they occupy," Miguna Miguna said.

During a press conference at the Opposition's Okoa Kenya offices, Miguna said the coalition will produce legitimate portraits

of 'President Raila Odinga'.

"... and we will distribute the portraits ourselves. We are going to do it in an organised and

fashioned way," he said.

On January 30, the government

declared NASA's National Resistance Movement as an organised criminal group.

The group was formed on October 25, 2017, a day before the repeat presidential elections which followed the nullification of President Uhuru Kenyatta's election in August.

But Miguna, who helped

administer Raila's oath on January 30, said they "will ensure that the coalition reclaims what was stolen from them".

"The people of Kenya

decided

to reclaim their

power. We will ensure that the illegitimate despots return back to the people what they rigged," he said.

Interior CS Fred Matiang'i, in a statement on Tuesday, invoked Section 22 of the Prevention Organised Crimes Act, 2010 to declare the opposition movement as "an organised criminal group".

Miguna further dared Matiang'i to arrest him for administering the oath to the Opposition leader.

"Matiang'i if you are looking for me, I am ready and I have been ready since I was a teenager," he said.

It was reported that Flying Squad officers were looking for Miguna hours after arresting Ruaraka MP TJ Kajwang'. The latter attended the swearing in fete at Uhuru Park.

"...we fought retired President Daniel Moi and defeated

him. You [Matiang'i] are nothing," Miguna said.

Kajwang was arrested at the Milimani law court before being taken to the Nairobi PCIO on Wednesday.

In a statement, Kajwang said he is ready to pay the ultimate price for his role in 'swearing in' Raila.
