Opposition activist Miguna Miguna has maintained that his push to better the Kenyan political scene remains intact despite his woes.
Speaking on Wednesday during Citizen TV’s JKL show, the lawyer said that the nation is still not liberated, judging by the actions in the political scene.
He said that Kenya needs independence, hence his push and efforts by his supporters whom he termed as freedom fighters, adding that they are using legal ways to achieve their objective.
Miguna said that his is a peaceful push to restore sanity in the country, and should not be seen as a danger to the nation’s peace and stability, terming words as his main weapon.
“Kenya is not liberated; Kenya got a flag and a national anthem, ornaments but real independence is not there. Mine was an army of freedom fighters; we fight using words, you do not have to use guns,” he said.
Regarding his participation in opposition chief Raila Odinga’s mock inauguration in January 30, 2018, the vocal lawyer noted that he does not regret commissioning the oath.
“Swearing-in Raila Odinga was the right thing to and still is the right thing to do. We had a fraudulent election on August 8, 2017, and that is indisputable; it is a fact because the Supreme Court found it to be so.
“I did not swear-in Raila Odinga out of spite, I was doing it for electoral justice. You give legitimacy to a real winner,” he said.

The voice of alone man in the desert. The firebrand rhetoric of the eighties and seventies has been overtaken by more progressive voices who see the gain already made and join elective position to push for change from within. The other option is seek court redress quietly like Omtata

Miguna is a hypocrite like raila. First, you had exposed raila as not fit to lead in 2012, then you want to gain mileage from swearing him in. Miguna wants fame not liberation. Another correction, the supreme court did not find that Raila won in August. So that was not an excuse, the rerun was there and the same supreme court was there if irregularities were repeated.

That kalongolongo swearing in cannot be anything but useless sideshow. Who declared RAO winner. Supreme court nullified Uhuru win based on fake IEBC documents. I hope the truth will one day be known. We shall revisit.

WHY WOULD kalongolongo be very threatening enough to the mighty ruling cartels and their foreign backers, so much so that a KENYAN CITIZEN had to be TERRORIZED and exiled for it??
To those who do not understand, the word “kalongolongo” means child’s play, like the make believe cooking by young children!
The above dickhead is using the word to implying that the swearing of of Raila Odinga at Uhuru Park was kalongolongo! But that kalongolongo became very threatening to the local and foreign cartels controlling Kenya!
