National Resistance Movement (NRM) General Miguna Miguna has issued new orders to members of the group after Interior CS Fred Matiang'i outlawed the group.
Miguna, who had earlier on Tuesday administered Raila Odinga's oath as the People's President at Uhuru Park, made no mention of Matiang'i's move and instead rallied his members to stay focused.
"On behalf of the #NRM-K, I wish to CONGRATULATE The People's President H.E. @RailaOdinga on his successful INAUGURATION today at Uhuru Park, Nairobi.
"All our members are ORDERED to remain focused, disciplined and courageous. Victory is certain. Viva! @UhuruMustGo," Miguna wrote on Twitter.
Matiang'i on Tuesday declared that the NRM was an organized criminal group through a gazette notice.

In the special notice seen by Kenyans.co.ke, Matiang'i stated that the movement was a criminal group and was, therefore, banned according to Section 22 of the Prevention of Organized Crimes Act, 2010.
"The section stipulates: "Where the Minister has reasonable grounds to believe that a specified group is engaged in any criminal activity under Section 3 of this Act, he may, on the advice of the Commissioner of Police, declare that specified group an organized criminal group for the purposes of this Act."
NRM was unveiled by Raila on the eve of the October 26 election which the National Super Alliance (NASA) boycotted.
The wing of NASA was to be in charge of civil disobediance and resistance of what they consider an illegitimate regime by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
