Controversial city lawyer Miguna Miguna has launched yet another attack on Baringo Senator Gideon Moi and ODM party leader Raila Odinga over what he said as lying about a story that was featured on the Standard Newspaper.
Miguna, while poking holes in a story featured on the Standard Newspaper on Sunday 22, 2019, accused Gideon Moi (key stakeholder in the Standard Media Group) of conspiring with Raila to lie on what exactly happened at Thika stadium in 1995.
In the Untold story; How I saved Raila, the newspaper expounds on how a police officer nearly shot Raila death but was luckily saved by an eagle-eyed cleric.
According to the paper, Raila Odinga together with his then-rival Kijana Wamalwa were both at the Thika Stadium where Ford-Kenya was holding elections to replace its chairman, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, who had died a year earlier.
Both were competing to grab the party’s top post in a bid to automatically become the party’s presidential candidate in the 1997 presidential election. It is then that chaos erupted between the two sides.
STOP LYING FOR RAILA, MR. GIDEON MOI
The coward and people's con-man @RailaOdinga was hiding under the table in Thika, afraid of Michael Kijana Wamalwa – not @PoliceKE. The con-man was cowering under Okoth Otura. There was no bullet. #DespotsMustFall https://t.co/W0fj8vh1FQ

The story painted Raila being pinned to the ground by his aides, including Otura, as he appeared besieged, staring at the gunmen who were out to take his life.
The chaos that erupted nearly turned into a blood bath with Raila breaking ranks with Wamalwa. This is what led to Raila resigning from Ford-Kenya and forming the National Development Party (NDP).
Two groups of hooligans were fighting at the Thika Stadium. One group was with Raila and the other was with Wamalwa. Raila and his goons were overpowered and you can see how the coward is trying to hide under the table. The Con-Man desperately is trying to rewrite history.

Miguna who was also in attendance, however, dismissed the newspaper’s report as misleading. According to him, the ODM boss was instead, hiding under the table, afraid of his rival Michael Kijana Wamalwa not the Kenya police.
Some sycophants are wailing that they cannot see a table that Raila was trying to hide under. So, anything you cannot see is not there? Wamalwa was there; can you see him? Can you see Audi Ogada? Can you see any policeman or the mythical bullets? Raila is a certified con-man.

Now, The People’s Con-Man, sycophants and zombies are desperately trying to rewrite history. It will not succeed,” stated Miguna.
Miguna has heavily been criticising both President Uhuru and Raila Odinga since he was deported to Canada immediately after taking part in the swearing-in ceremony of Raila Odinga as the People’s President in 2018.
Maybe there were no bullets, but anyone would hide or run from stone throwing goons, like this guy for example. pic.twitter.com/8iPrpvPecY
