We all remember about Raila Odinga’s famous oath taking ceremony.
Raila’s oath was administered by Ruaraka MP Tom Kajwang and former Nairobi governor candidate Miguna Miguna.
A day later, Kajwang was arrested in a police crackdown on individuals linked to administering the oath.
“I have just been arrested by eright Flying Squad policemen. If my arrest and prosecution will be the ultimate price I must pay for my role in Swearing of the People’s President, then I am ready,” he said.
In February, self-proclaimed NRMKe General Miguna Miguna was also dramatically arrested at his Runda home.
Miguna would be detained in various police stations before being deported to Canada where he is currently based.
However, the High Court in a recent ruling declared Miguna is a Kenyan citizen and ordered state to pay a Sh7 million as compensation for violating his rights.
Before the dust of Miguna’s deportation settled, Raila and Uhuru surprised Kenyans, especially their ardent supporters, with their truce ending the 2017 poll tussle.
The March 9 handshake (as it would be popularised) at Harambee House saw an end to the hostilities pitting pro-change agents and supporters of the status quo.
Uhuru noted the meeting with Raila would be key to ending the political differences that triggers inter-communal conflicts in Wajir, West Pokot, and Elgeyo Marakwet counties.
