Former Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama has claimed that the Jubilee administration plans to curtail the movement of top NASA leaders following Miguna Miguna’s deportation.
Muthama alleged that the police plan to put NASA politicians under house arrest, so as to prevent them from holding rallies and interacting with their supporter’s.Speaking to journalists at Kangundo Town in Machakos County on Friday, the vocal politician further claimed that the Jubilee administration is planning to freeze the bank accounts of certain politicians allied to self-declared people’s president Raila Odinga.“We know what Jubilee is planning and want to tell them that we will not be frightened in our push for electoral reforms in this country,” he said.Muthama said the government’s attempt to silence the opposition, the media and civil rights groups will not work.He said Miguna’s Tuesday night deportation showed Jubilee’s desperation, adding that the revocation of passports belonging to top NASA leaders is a tactic by Jubilee to cause fear in the opposition and have its leader’s drop their reforms agenda.The former Wiper Senator said they (NASA) will remain strong and push the reforms agenda forward. “We are not going to be cowardice by acts of impunity being perpetuate by the Jubilee administration,” he added.Muthama asked NASA supporters and Kenyans to remain united and stand up against impunity.Early this week, the government wrote to some top NASA politicians asking them to surrender their passports.The government is reported to have given the opposition leaders up to February 21 to surrender their passports, a move which political analysts say is a plot to curtail their movement in the aftermath of Raila’s swearing-in as the people's president.The government on Tuesday night deported self-declared NRM general Miguna Miguna to Canada. Prior to his deportation, Miguna had been detained in police cells for five days over his role in Raila’s swearing-in ceremony.
