Miguna Miguna says Azimio leader Raila Odinga should be held accountable over property destruction during protests.
Lawyer Miguna Miguna now wants Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga to be held accountable for his commitment to Kenyans ahead of the 2022 general election.
In a statement on Saturday, July 15, Miguna said that each contender for president in the last general election had publicly agreed to accept the results of the election and to take their complaints to court.
“Before the August 9, 2022 general and presidential elections, all the presidential candidates in Kenya signed a commitment in public that they would accept the Presidential results.
“They also stated publicly that if they had any grievances regarding those elections, they would channel them through the courts,” said Miguna.
Miguna that Raila should be held accountable for his commitments adding that it is not fair for common citizens to be made accountable while leaders go scott free.
“It’s time to make Raila Odinga accountable for the commitments he made. We cannot have a country where only the economically poor and less privileged citizens are made accountable but the big fish operate with impunity,” Miguna added.
Meanwhile, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has likened Azimio protestors to terrorists.

Kindiiki said protestors who have been engaging in wanton destruction of property in recent demonstrations against the government were no different from terrorists.
“We have been fighting the Al Shabaab and bandits in northern parts of Kenya but we now another group of criminals who are in politics. They are all in one Whatsapp group,” he stated.
The CS reiterated that there was no difference between an Al Shabaab militant and a protestor who burns the country’s flag.
