National Super Alliance (Nasa) has named more products that its supporters should boycott.

Speaking during a press briefing at Okoa Kenya offices in Nairobi on Wednesday, Nasa leaders asked their supporters to boycott products from Haco Tiger Industries, a firm linked to billionaire businessman Chris Kirubi.

Led by former Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant Miguna Miguna and Kakamega senator Cleophas Malala, the leaders claimed that Haco, which manufactures stationery and beauty products, played a part in subverting the will of Kenyans in last year's presidential election.

"We are encouraging our supporters not to buy products and services so that we send a clear message to the world that impunity does not pay, " Miguna said.

Some of its famous products include; Bic pens, Miadi, cleaning detergent - So Soft, Amara, Haco pegs, shavers and Ingrams.

The leaders said their last year's boycott call on Bidco, Brookside and Safaricom has cost the three firms billions in losses.

"The effect of these boycotts is being felt everywhere," Mr Miguna said during a press conference at Okoa Kenya Offices in Lavington, Nairobi.

The leaders further announced that Nasa plans to petition the International Criminal Court (ICC) to commence investigations into the alleged profiling and killing of its supporters.

They maintained the planned inauguration of Nasa leader Raila Odinga as the people's president is still on course.
