National Super Alliance (NASA) principal Raila Odinga has revealed that the government has instituted a new regulation against him and his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka.
According to Odinga, airport authorities have been instructed to ensure that the two leaders have clearance from the House on the Hill before leaving Kenya.
"The (airport) authorities have disclosed that henceforth Hon. Musyoka and I, the NASA candidate, will need clearance from State House before leaving the country," Mr Odinga revealed in a statement to newsrooms.
The former premier issued the statement shortly after Kalonzo and Moses Wetangula on Thursday left the country following a struggle with government officials.
The two are said to have been stalled at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) where the authorities allegedly attempted to bar them from travelling.
Odinga has since condemned the move saying that it is indicative of a serious decline of the political situation in the country.
"They (the orders) point to a resurgence of the old order, with the Executive giving itself powers that do not exist in our laws.
"NASA condemns this latest infringement on the freedoms and liberties and the harassment of its top leadership," the NASA leader declared.
He added that the Jubilee leadership was employing the alleged scare tactic to shield itself from an imminent loss in the upcoming presidential poll.
"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," Raila's statement read.
Mr Musyoka was finally allowed to travel to Uganda where he is to preside over a graduation ceremony of the Uganda Technology and Management University (UTAMU) as Chancellor.
The Bungoma Senator was accompanying him for the same event.
