Self proclaimed NRM General Dr Miguna Miguna is known to be a man who say’s it as it is. Known for his hard hitting tackles on anyone who tries to come on his way, Miguna has again unleashed his wrath on Opposition Chief Raila Odinga.
If at any point you thought that Miguna Miguna’s last previous book, “Peeling Back the Mask” was anything, then you have not read his latest book titled, Treason: The Case Against Tyrants and Renegades.
In this new book Miguna takes a hard tackle on Raila.
The now exiled lawyer describes Raila as a coward who strongly opposed his own swearing-in on January 30 last year.
The barrister reveals how Raila was scared of the treason charges that President Uhuru Kenyatta’s government had threatened and says during some planning meetings, the former Prime Minister “was trembling like a leaf”.
“Raila was dissolving in fear, right before us. He was scared to death of the high treason charges Uhuru Kenyatta’s minions like [Attorney General] Githu Muigai had threatened us with,” Miguna says in his book launched on Saturday in Toronto, Canada.
He goes on to describe a conversation with businessman Jimi Wanjigi — one of the key proponents of the Raila oath — who had also concluded that the ODM leader was scared of the controversial swearing-in.
“Later, as we were walking to the elevator, Wanjigi turned to me and said, “Generaaaaal!”. When I looked at him, he started imitating a man shaking like a leaf. We all laughed,” Miguna writes.
According to Miguna’s account, Raila’s wife Ida and his elder brother Oburu Odinga were strongly opposed to the swearing-in.
He claims that Raila’s own children, Winnie and Junior, accused their mother and uncle of being bad influence on their dad.
“Nyar Gem [Ida] and Oburu are also a big problem. They are the ones putting pressure on him not to be sworn in,” Miguna quotes Raila Junior as saying, adding that he sounded sad that his father was getting old feet.
