Miguna: “I Have Been Right Throughout My Adult Life” as He Takes Aim at Moi, Kibaki, Uhuru and Ruto

Lawyer and political activist Miguna Miguna has revisited his long political journey, maintaining that he has consistently stood against what he describes as dictatorship, electoral injustices, corruption and political impunity in Kenya.

In a lengthy statement, Miguna recalled opposing the late President Daniel arap Moi in the 1980s, claiming he was abducted, detained and tortured at Nyayo House before going into exile in 1988.

He also highlighted his political positions during the 2002 elections, the 2007–2008 post-election crisis and the constitutional debates that followed. Miguna said he supported Raila Odinga and ODM in 2007 while opposing what he described as Mwai Kibaki's electoral theft.

The former political activist further recalled his opposition to the Jubilee administration and said he was involved in the resistance movement against the government after the 2017 elections.

Miguna also criticised the 2018 handshake between Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga, as well as the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), arguing that the initiatives threatened Kenya's constitutional order.

Turning to the present, Miguna said he was among the early critics of President William Ruto's administration and praised the Gen Z-led protests of 2024.

He maintained that he would continue challenging what he considers political hypocrisy and impunity, insisting that slogans alone cannot transform Kenya.

“I am proud to have been right throughout my adult life,” Miguna stated, declaring himself an unapologetic democratic socialist committed to social justice, equity and political transformation.
