[Photo: nation.co.ke]NASA leader Raila Odinga has rubbished the latest policy directive requiring that opposition leaders seek State House clearance before travelling outside the country.Raila's statement to newsrooms came after reports emerged that his co-principals Kalonzo Musyoka and Moses Wetangula had on Thursday been blocked at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and prevented from travelling to Uganda.“The attempts to prohibit opposition leaders from leaving the country and to control their movement through State House clearances are illegitimate manoeuvres by an increasingly paranoid regime. Nasa condemns this latest infringement on the freedoms and liberties and the harassment of its top leadership,” Raila said on Thursday as quoted by Nation.He said the opposition would defy the directive as its leaders need no clearance to travel outside the country saying they must remain free. Raila said that opposition is a legitimate part and parcel of the Kenyan political landscape and must be allowed and enabled to pursue its mandate as an alternative government and voice of the people in line with the Constitution.The two were, however, later allowed to travel to attend a graduation ceremony at the Uganda Technology and Management University, where Musyoka is the chancellor.
