The government plans to strip off passports of at least 10 National Super Alliance (Nasa) leaders in the ongoing purge on those at the centre of opposition leader Raila Odinga's swearing-in.
Daily Nation reports that sources within Interior Ministry and the Directorate of Immigration and Registration of Persons indicated that letters of suspension of passports to those affected were drafted on Friday and will be dispatched starting next week.
The government has already declared Nasa's National Resistance Movement (NRM) a criminal group, conducted a number of arrests, withdrawn bodyguards and revoked firearms licences of key opposition figures.
A senior state officials said that among those whose passports could be suspended include, Siaya Senator James Orengo, former Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant Miguna Miguna – who is still in police custody and controversial billionaire businessman Jimi Wanjigi.
The decision to suspend the passports is said to arrived at during a National Security Advisory Committee (NSAC) meeting held at Harambee House on Monday. NSAC meetings are usually chaired by the Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua.
“The operation will ensure we not only monitor their movements in the country but also see to it they cannot find safe havens elsewhere,” a source told Nation.
Reached by the Nation for a comment on the matter, Director of Immigration Gordon Kihalangwa denied having any knowledge of such a plan.
“I am not aware of such action, thanks,” the retired Major-General, who is also the Principal Secretary nominee for Border Control and Registration of Persons, said.
Interior Ministry spokesperson Mwenda Njoka said: “I wouldn’t know if there are such plans. I can only speak about this if there is evidence of the suspension."

Finya mos mos JP. Soon they NRM will know who the real men are.
Real men do NOT RIG Electipns; Viguoyas do; and Kibaki, Uhuru, and Ruto are the Real VIGUOYAS.
Real men do not stay home during election or withdraw from election. They face it head on
Oh, did you forget Kenyatta?
Real cowards are those who never show but want to be given leadership on golden platters...and when noone pays them attention, they UNDERMINE THEIR COUNTRY in every way possible...manipulating the poor and vulnerable, using them to reign havoc on fellow citizens...killing, vandalizing and destroying wananchi businesses, stealing from them and making it impossible for peace-loving Kenyans to make a living. They are paid to cause havoc and spread lies on social media. What a pathetic lot? Glad they have their sweet-nothings-president-of one-tribe...now go to migingo and rot there.
I think Moi must be trembling with disbelief! This lot would not have dared this nonsense in his presence. Ujinga mwingi whilst the country is going downhill. Uhuru's government is losing my respect in their inaction. I know brothers here have advised me that the plan was to wait until a law has been broken according to the constitution. Well, it was broken on the 31/01 and still the chief offender remains at large! C'mon now, this is a joke! Babu continues to call Uhuru Umbwa that is licking his arse(watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC42VmK6g5c
@Sukari, I watched the video. I wonder whether Babu Owino mother & father taught him what is right and wrong. Those are the things you are taught when you are 5 yrs old to respect other people.
Uhuru, I really pray God provides with courage and strength. Yes, my respect is waning, lakini I never forget you are human like everyone else. I pray that those around you will support you according, that you don't turn to the bottle to deal with the turmoil at hand. This clip indicates you are back to post August elections. Please pray, man up, boss up and take actions against the devil at hand. A leader has to take unfavorable actions at the best of times. Stop trying to be a friend to everyone for that will only attract Judases. Chupa chini and courage and prayers up!

The situation is getting better and better everyday. The highlight is Miguna x2 is "visiting" Kiambu area and "meeting" the constituents there.I can only assume he's had very fruitful conversations on development in Kiambu 😂.
Yes someone needs to show these goons that they are not above the law. Time for Uhuru to stop putting up for this treason nonesense, Kenya is not a country for any Tom, Dick and Harry to run around Amok with no consequences. Master minding mass murder is a crime ! In fact they should be jailed and thrown to Migingo Island ! Useless NASA goons! Ati revolution, revolution from what? If you cannot conduct elections and win, stop using words revolution , Kenya is not Ukraine. People have resources - a whole lake and they are not ingenious to make a living out of it. People have freedom of movement and yet they cannot hack it but waste so much energy on hating others , even stealing( the kikuyu haters) requires Ingenuity !!! . Bure Kabisa ! Jail them all of them .Such a menace to the society.
Dr. Uhuru, I challenge you to arrest Dr. Raila. After all he is the one who took the oath of office on January 30, 2018. After you arrest him, arrest all the people who came to Uhuru Park and witnessed him taking of oath.
Thank you Dr. Raila for conducting a very successful meeting where no one was injured and not even a drop of blood shed. Now we can see that your (Uhuru) untrained police officers are the real threat to our national security.
You (Uhuru) you are lucky to be living in a dictatorship. That's why you were able to get away with shutting down the media. Had you been the president of the USA, you would have been out of office by now for shutting down the media and defying orders of the supreme court of Kenya.
At the rate you are going, you are going to be the next Dr. Mugabe, the former president of Zimbabwe.
Release anyone in police custody and follow our constitution. As a matter of fact, you are now a candidate for impeachment for abuse of power and our New Constitution.
N this is the way to go,hawa mashitholes leaders wametisha legally elected gavament for long time.If USA Europe Australia is with democracy that Uhuruto were elected according to the constitution we have they need to ban them from travelling in their countries also deport their children who r studying in this countries to back to Kenya so if they burn kenya watu wao wote wakufie huku pia.Bravo bravo matiangi
Yes, they should strip passports for all NASA ring leaders. These people they are looking for war in our country. They are manipulating the Poor and Iliterate people. I remember Kalonzo Musyoka words saying Kenya should go like Sudan & Somali way. What an idiot??? How can he preach war & bloodshed? These people should be in prison and learn a lesson.
Seriously, Kenyans life need to move forward. These leaders they made their own fortune already and live in High End neighborhoods (Karen, Runda).... yet they want to manipulate poor Kenyans.
They need their Passports Suspended starting with fake Joshua & his family, Kaloozer & his family, Mudavadi & his family, Wetangula & his family, Miguna, Orengo & other top goons. Uhuru do not be afraid of these goons you either get them or they will get you
Muigai Mr. president, can you please stop playing intelligent with fools. Why don’t you just arrest these NASA law breakers halafu kiumane. Kama mbaya, mbaya. Kenya will bounce back shortly. Badaya ya today this, today that......
Nyina wa Raila, lelax... maundu ni kahora...githe rimue durekaga kirimu gikurange ....it's called guikiria nguku mbembe yokoke... A senile 80-yr-old, incoherent, unstable does need some mental evaluation....cannot be hurled in kawa jail...truth be told, he is TOOTHLESS...BUT the idiots who are taking advantage of him.. driving him to do things he does not understand are the CULPRITS.. and I am not talking about the vulnerable youths, No, the power-hungry semi-elites, the Migunas, kondoos like Ndiis, and those NASA Governors, MPs,MCAs that are in Uhuru's govt and are NRM-ALIGNED by action.... Raila is a gone case, Remove those PUPPETS and save a senile man. BUT if raila is tested fit, treason he will answer to, here or elsewhere. TIGA IHENYA nyina wa raila...reke nguku yokoke.....UHUNYE IS IN CONTROL....backing ya AU, na thii iria we hate but need... makinya kahora...(translation: MAMBO NI POLE-POLE, MOS-MOS, mosi-mosi kwa lugha ya taifa)
You have a criminal government running serikali ya kenya, that is why mungiki was camping at Lari police station waiting for miguna to be released so they can cut him with those rusted machetes and your government was MIA.
Mbingu, I grew up hearing people referring to Luos in less favorable terms. I never bought into the stereotype and had and still have many Luo friends. Lakini, seeing this mass self destruction without any meaningful logic has made me reflect. Maybe, there is an innate gene in Luos that makes them hate so much, destroy the country/property their fathers made. The Kikuyu camping at Lari Police are simply angry citizens and you will notice they are few in numbers as opposed to whole villages seen during Luo demonstrations. Kwani hawana kazi hawa watu? It really feels like mourning a country I once had. Pity and so painful to see Kenya go down this way. This is just a Luo saga and nothing to do with elections. Once in power, I believe Kenya will be counting down to total chaos in public services. Luolism is about personal gain/possession and nothing about others in general. So during public holidays, we shall see the likes of Babu, Odinga et al all carrying material things like chairs, sufurias, kuku na vifaranga, godoros and jiko's back to the countryside. Hiyo ndiyo destiru yao na ushamba mwingi. Once they arrive, it is show time, before packing back to Nairobi again. Never will look at these people with the same mindset again.
Stop hating on one tribe.Yenyewe Babu owino describingwww.youtube.com Matiangi as mkebe wa blueband made my day.Ati ana makende mangapi .Let him have it.Kenya is not Uganda as some one once commented this guy not only resembles
Idi Amin but acts like him.And who says seasoned travellers can only have one passport only the naive think by holding a passport they can restrict movement .Get with the times wacheni kupumbaa.
Anonymous, the haters are the tribe themselves. Evidence is there. I agree with you on the passport issue - they should be given their passports and encouraged to travel.... as far away from civilization as possible. That, my friend is their basic human right - Free will. The beef is when they think their rights are superior to other people rights. Uhuru will revive, lakini at the moment amechanganikiwa na visanga hivi vya ajabu ajabu, na majudas every way he looks. He was too liberal with these people, mazao is lack of respect paraded today.
The jubilee government running scare! The REVoLUTION is on.
