Meet this man, Miguna Miguna… A politician, a lawyer and a columnist. He has, in the past, unsuccessfully vied for political seats, sworn in Raila Odinga as president and was forcefully deported from Kenya.
Miguna Miguna Being deported
For him, everything happening in Kenya is wrong; from the handshake to the lifestyle audits. Maybe he is right, maybe he is wrong.
We sample some of his recent statements. He has no kind words for the political class:
On Kenya’s victory and ensuing celebrations against Ethiopia, yesterday during the AFCON qualifier, Miguna wrote:
“Fellow Kenyans, celebrating the Kenya vs Ethiopia victory is like an adult celebrating that he has wrestled a toddler to the ground. Ethiopia went through a 30-year-civil-war and has been at the ICU since the war ended. Beat Brazil, France or Italy and I’ll join your celebrations. The Despots: Uhuru Kenyatta, Raila Odinga, William Ruto and their cabals are laughing their heads off in their multibillion mansions as hungry, oppressed, exploited and enslaved zombies are DISTRACTED to celebrating the Kenya vs Ethiopia meaningless victories. Liberate yourselves mentally. He goes on to say:
“I admit that Kenya is NUMBER 1 in the theft and plunder of public resources. Yes, we are number 1 in extra-judicial killings, torture and repression. We are often number 2 in long distance running. But what INTELLECTUAL pursuits are we number 1 in? Tell me.”
On Raila Odinga’s push for a referendum to change the constitution:
“Kenyans placed term limits and restricted their elected leaders or imposters to 2 terms of 5 years each to curtail authoritarianism. Now, the Despot, his hand cheque lapdog and sycophants are yelling that Uhuru Kenyatta must rule for life. A Constitution should never be repealed or changed to suit anyone no matter how powerful, repressive or wealthy s/he may be. A Kshs 200 billion referendum will worsen the lives of Kenyans. Respect and uphold the Constitution as it exists, deliver services and create jobs.”
Miguna Miguna Swearing in Raila Odinga as president
On Kenyans’ angry reactions to former South Sudan Chief of General Staff General Paul Malong Awan Anei’s wealth, Miguna says:
“Why are some Kenyans hypocritically upset about Paul Malong’s plundered wealth when Uhuru Kenyatta; Daniel arap Moi; Mwai Kibaki; Raila Odinga; William Ruto, Nicholas Biwott, Joshua Kulei, Chris Kirubi and their families have looted 1,000,000% more than him from Kenyans.”
Miguna adds: “Kshs 5 trillion of public money has been plundered and stashed in tax havens abroad by Daniel Arap Moi, Uhuru Kenyatta, their families and cronies, yet Kenyan politicians are busy taking selfies with Bobi wine (a Ugandan Legislator) instead of protecting public interests – as their sycophants cheer.”
Miguna Miguna vied for the Nairobi gubernatorial seat in 2017
Miguna castigating Kenyan Members of Parliament hosting Ugandan Legislator, Bobi Wine:
“Those pretending to support Bobi Wine in Kenya are cowards. The best way to fight for freedom is to confront tyrants in your own country. DIRECTLY CONFRONT Uhuru Kenyatta regarding his egregious violations of human rights in Kenya. Stop pretending to be fighting Museveni in Kenya.”
Miguna Miguna being roughed up by an angry mob
Miguna on the Government’s failure to create jobs for the youths:
“The DUTY of a government is to create jobs and deliver basic services such as housing, healthcare, education, transportation and security – and to respect and uphold the law. How many sycophants out there can say that the Jubilee Party despots and their lapdogs have done that?”
He goes on to say: “How many jobs has the Hand Cheque created for the unemployed youth since March 9th? How many looters have been charged or convicted since March 9th? How many VICTIMS of extra-judicial killings and police torture have had justice rendered to them since 2007?”
Miguna-Miguna-and-Raila-Odinga
Miguna names tycoons hiding trillions of Kenyan money in overseas banks, as Kenyans languish in poverty:
“Leading Kenyan plunderers who are hiding TRILLIONS OF SHILLINGS looted public wealth abroad: Daniel arap Moi & Family, Uhuru Kenyatta & Family, Mwai Kibaki & Family, Raila Odinga & Family, William Ruto & Family, Nicholas Biwott and Chris Kirubi & Family.”
And Miguna writes off the lifestyle audit exercise by the president as just a mere Public Relations: “Kenyans must not support despotic PR exercises called ‘lifestyle audits,’ mythical bridges to nowhere or a referendum as Uhuru Kenyatta and his lapdogs Raila Odinga, MoivGideon, Kalonzo Musyoka and others continue looting TRILLIONS of our resources.”

This comprehensive in-patient health cover has been introduced for NHIF contributors and their dependants. The actualization of this package is a culmination of continued reforms at NHIF. Such reforms include efficiency, arising from decentralization of NHIF services and continued partnership with health providers on enhanced quality services to all members. To enhance these benefits, NHIF has contracted hospitals under three Categories; A, B & C, to provide this in-patient medical cover and partial cover for surgical cases in some of these hospitals. Our members are at liberty to attend hospitals under any category.
Under Category A (government hospitals), members would be able to enjoy full and comprehensive cover for maternity and medical diseases including surgery. In short, they will not need to pay for anything on admission provided they are fully paid up members of NHIF. Members admitted under contract Category B (private and mission) hospitals will enjoy full and comprehensive cover but where surgery is required, the contributor may be required to co-pay.
Those visiting facilities contracted under Category C (private) will continue with the current system where NHIF pays specified daily benefits under the current arrangements. NHIF will continue to negotiate with other health providers not appearing in the list below to determine which category of contract they will sign. Members will be informed of additional hospitals as and when they sign the contracts.
Below is a list of Hospitals, Number of Beds and Contracts covered by NHIF in the Eastern Region.

Why I Support Referendum To Change The Constitution
The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking
– Albert Einstein
Unless one is a true sycophant, Kenya is in the throes of bankruptcy. Our voracious appetite for Loans, Eurobonds and Chinese freebies are digging us in a hole. It is like placing an alcoholic in a Brewery or a gambler in a casino. The only way to stop our Country collapsing is Constitutional Change.
I support Referendum to mark the following changes:
1. Women Representatives, Nominated MPs and Senators …. These Politicians have no work, no Constituency and no responsibilities. They end up being idle and get time for salon or bar or abuses.
2. Reduce MPs in the National Assembly to 180 …. With a population of 400m, US has 435 US Representatives being a ratio of 920,000 people to One Representative.
3. We reduce the Cabinet to 14 …. US has 15 and Switzerland has 7 …. Our Ministries are duplicated and we end up having Ministers fighting each other. And like Singapore, we increase Ministerial Salaries to Kshs. 20m per month praying they wouldn’t steal again.
4. We reduce the Counties to 14 drawn along shared language, tribe and religion like Britain and Switzerland … And Nairobi will be a Capital Territory like Washington in US and Canberra in Australia.
5. Make Corruption Capital offense like in China … Everyone must justify how they have made their money …. All Properties ownership must be put online and public … Tax payments be made public ….. One can’t be a Billionaire without companies that employ thousands …. Only lawyers, Architects, Doctors and Investment Bankers are allowed to be rich without employing hundreds of employees … Those who steal from the public must forfeit all and be shot!
6. Finally, the President must be the leader of the biggest party like in Turkey …. The President must also get at least 25% from Regions that have as the dominant tribe, Kikuyu, Kalenjin, Luo, Kisii, Luhya and Kamba. Other tribes are collateral.
7. All National Borrowing Agreements and Treaties must be made public and approved by the National and all the County
Assemblies …..
8. Constitutional Bodies and Institutions like Parliament, Judiciary, National Police Service, DPP, EACC etc must be truly independent.
