Miguna Miguna heckled for castigating Azimio leader Raila Odinga for what he termed as “not embracing multi-party democracy”.
Controversial lawyer Miguna Miguna was put in an awkward situation when a group of mourners jeered him for criticizing Raila Odinga, the leader of the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition party, for “not embracing multi-party democracy.”
Dr. Miguna had to cut his speech short on Monday while speaking to mourners at a burial in Kasipul, Homa Bay County when a group of people began jeering him for saying that Mr. Odinga had allegedly forced people in Nyanza into a one-party system.
The lawyer who fell out with the ODM leader was among mourners at the funeral of a couple, Elly Omondi and his wife Immaculate Aluoch, who died in a traffic accident on the Kisumu-Kisii highway.
Mr. Omondi was an employee of Kisumu’s water supply company Kiwasco.
Dr. Miguna was forced to surrender the microphone to the master of the ceremony when the crowd began mocking him.
He began his speech in Dholuo before switching to English. He then took the war between President William Ruto and Mr. Odinga to the funeral.
When speaking, the lawyer drummed up support for the Head of State.
“The president is called William Ruto. He is the president whether you like it or not,” he said.
He then castigated the ODM leader, accusing Raila Odinga of being behind the political woes facing the people of Nyanza.
According to him, the Luo community does not like multi-party democracy, implying that they love ODM more than any other party.
“We must embrace multiparty democracy. Raila fought for it and was sent to detention,” Dr Miguna said.
As he spoke, some people cheered while others made all sorts of noise including blowing vuvuzelas.

He said fighting for multi-party democracy was for Kenyans to enjoy the fruits of independence.
However, because of Mr. Odinga, he claimed, the Nyanza region is not enjoying the fruits of independence.
“Right now the people of Nyanza are not enjoying the fruits of independence because of one Raila Amollo Odinga. I have said it,” Dr. Miguna said to boos from mourners.
He later handed over the microphone and stepped away from the dais. As he was walking away, some of the mourners dared him to speak ill of Mr Odinga.
“Raila ok mbasni. Kwenda kabisa ( Raila is not your age mate. Go away),” one man shouted at him.
“Don’t speak ill about Raila. We are in pain and you are making it worse,” another yelled.
