However, self proclaimed NRM General has a different opinion about the whole idea. According to Miguna, it is stupid for Raila to spend Millions of money every year on his birthday. The Canadian lawyer also believes that Raila has been worshipping his father who died more than 30 years ago and his son Fidel Odinga who died in 2015.
“A genuine freedom fighter does not waste millions of shillings and time on an annual “worship” of his 100-year-old father who died 30 years ago, his son who died more than 2 years ago and his 74th birthday.” Miguna posted on his Twitter handle.
A genuine freedom fighter does not waste millions of shillings and time on an annual “worship” of his 100-year-old father who died 30 years ago, his son who died more than 2 years ago and his 74th birthday; s/he spends that money and time on those @UKenyatta maimed in 2017.

Miguna believes that the money should have been used on victims of the 2017 post election violence.
