Miguna faces wrath after castigating Okiya Omtatah

Lawyer Miguna Miguna had difficulty tackling dissenting perspectives after his lengthy X post disapproving of Okiya Omtatah's presidential ambitions

Lawyer Miguna Miguna had difficulty tackling dissenting perspectives after his lengthy X post disapproving of Okiya Omtatah’s presidential ambitions.

In his verbiage on the microblogging platform, Miguna suggested that the Busia senator and activist was secretly working with President William Ruto.

Miguna detailed that Omtatah’s campaign for the 2027 presidential vote was being used to divert the attention of Kenyans from the supposed iniquities of Ruto and make them turn a blind eye to them until 2027.

“I am calling Okiya Omtatah out. If he is not Ruto’s agent, I dare him to call off his misguided premature campaign for 2027 and focus on a revolutionary movement to remove Ruto from power now—before 2027,” claimed Miguna.

“Anyone pretending to be vying for the presidency in 2027 with Ruto’s stranglehold on the police, NIS, IEBC, and the judiciary is a strategic decoy and a Ruto agent,” he added.

The lawyer challenged Omtatah to openly call out Ruto instead of pursuing litigations against government officials in court.

Miguna’s perspective did not sit well with a considerable number of Kenyans, who camped under his lengthy tweet to defend and vouch for Omtatah.

They pointed out that the litigious activist and lawmaker has a public record of defending the common citizenry by filing lawsuits to challenge successive governments’ policies deemed oppressive.

“My friend Miguna, we have history. There is a clear consistency with Okiya Omtatah; which you lack. Let it be known that the character of a man cannot suddenly change,” a Kenyan named Nelson Mapema challenged Miguna.

Others told Miguna that in a line-up of Kenyan politicians and leaders, Omtatah could be the best fit as he is clear of corruption and other issues of maladministration.

Some quarters went on to call out the Canada-based lawyer for often ‘bickering’ online without availing himself on the ground to actualise the revolutionary ideas he constantly preaches about.

“Until the day you come back to Kenya, you, sir, shall forever be a keyboard warrior with good English. Omtatah is here. You are not,” an X user fired at Miguna.

Others reminded him that he was at the forefront of vouching for Ruto’s presidency in the run-up to the last election, and yet he currently bemoans the regime he supported on the ballot.

Some X users also took on Miguna for speaking against administrational ills, yet in 2018, he committed a treasonable act of swearing in opposition leader Raila Odinga.

But even as his X post went south with the respondents disapproving of the concerns raised therein, Miguna tasked himself with tackling them.
