Outspoken Kenyan lawyer Dr. Miguna Miguna has called for the impeachment of President William Ruto, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, and other prominent leaders through mass action on the streets.
In a statement posted on his X account, Miguna insisted that the only meaningful impeachment for Kenyans must come from public mobilization, targeting not only Ruto and Gachagua.
He also threw a pointing finger at Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, ODM leader Raila Odinga, National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki, and other members of the political establishment.
Miguna argued that the current impeachment process involving Gachagua is merely a “PR stunt” orchestrated by the National Intelligence Service (NIS) to distract the public.
He urged Kenyans not to be misled by such political maneuvers, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive overhaul of the political system and institutions before holding fresh elections.
“The only impeachment that matters to Kenyans must occur on the streets and must be against William Ruto, Rigathi Gachagua, Musalia Mudavadi, Raila Odinga, Hon. Wetangula, Kindiki Kithure, and all the cabals,” Miguna wrote.
He proposed a “Big Tent” meeting where Kenyans could organize, discuss, and agree on a transformation process to overhaul all systems and institutions in the country.
According to Miguna, such a transformation is necessary to bring about genuine change in governance and ensure that the citizens’ voices are at the center of decision-making.
Miguna’s remarks come amid heightened political tensions, as Deputy President Gachagua faces an impending impeachment motion in Parliament.
His call for mass action reflects the growing discontent among some Kenyans regarding the current political leadership and governance.
