NASA leader Raila Odinga made his long-awaited statement at Uhuru Park on Wednesday, flanked by a crowd of enthusiastic NASA supporters at the historic venue,
Odinga maintained his call to his supporters that they should not turn out for the October 26 repeat polls but also urged them to remain in the comfort of their homes claiming that some militia has been ordered to deal with them.
Odinga;s speech was filled with a lot of calls to boycott products associated with the Jubilee regime. He said they will advise their followers on the way forward in due time.
However, what stood out and led to an online discussion from Kenyans of all walks of life was Odinga'adeclaration that NASA coalition has transformed into a resistance movement and will ensure fresh free, fair, and credible elections are held within 90 days.
Here are some of the reactions.

A resistance movement means sabotage of state activities, division of the state, no remittance of taxes, no law, bloodshed, and war.

Next thing for Jubilee is to outlaw NASA resistance movement.
