Kenyan police on Wednesday arrested opposition legislator and lawyer T.J. Kajwang after he attended opposition leader Raila Odinga’s fake swearing-in ceremony on Tuesday, opposition official Norman Magaya said. Kajwang stood next to Odinga on the podium wearing clothes mimicking traditional robes as the opposition leader underwent the symbolic inauguration that was attended by thousands of opposition supporters. Odinga lost an election re-run in October 2017 to current President Uhuru Kenyatta, who was sworn in two months ago. How Kenyatta’s government has respondedThe government has outlawed the National Resistance Movement, an upshot of NASA, and labeled it a “criminal group.”Kenya’s top three TV stations have been closed down indefinitely as the government investigates the fake inauguration. Why hold a fake swearing-in ceremony?
