In a swift response on his official Twitter page, the self-proclaimed Luo Nyanza Kingpin, Dr. Miguna Miguna, wasted no time in expressing his views on opposition leader Raila Odinga’s reception in Eldoret county during the ongoing Devolution conference. Dr. Miguna’s sentiments shed light on what he perceives as Raila Odinga’s contradictory actions and use of public resources.
Criticizing Odinga’s involvement with the ODM party and the Political Parties Fund, Dr. Miguna pointed out that the funds, largely sourced from taxpayers, were meant to benefit the public, but Odinga allegedly failed to share them equitably. He questioned Odinga’s consistent claims of election victory being “stolen,” juxtaposed with his acceptance of government funds following public protests. Dr. Miguna also highlighted Odinga’s opulent displays of wealth, such as his family’s acquisition of high-end vehicles, contrasting them with the suffering of Kenyan youth injured during protests, for whom justice and support seemed elusive.
Dr. Miguna’s commentary also accused Odinga of exploiting the protests, known as “maandamano,” for personal gains and of disregarding the plight of the Luo community by using their sacrifices to advance his own interests. He further emphasized that the pattern of behavior should come to an end, asserting that enough was enough.
