Dr Miguna Miguna has responded strongly to a theory shared by economist David Ndii, who revisited events surrounding the 2002 political transition and the relationship between Raila Odinga and President Mwai Kibaki.
Ndii suggested that one possible explanation was that Raila may have reached an understanding with Kibaki to prevent him from leading the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) campaign.
He linked the claim to disagreement over the Bomas Draft and said Raila had initially supported a system with an executive structure and 15 regions before making a last-minute change.

His remarks have reopened debate about the political negotiations that shaped Kenya’s leadership and constitutional journey in the early 2000s.
The Bomas Draft was a proposal in Kenya’s constitution-making process and included a prime ministerial position.
Miguna, however, appeared to reject any version of events that he believes misrepresents what happened behind closed doors. Responding to Ndii, he said: “You were not in the room. We were.”
He added that some people who witnessed the events had already written books explaining what happened and why.
Miguna warned that memoirs containing what he called “pure lies and fiction” would be challenged.
Ndii did not present the theory as an established fact. Instead, he described it as “another theory” and told readers to wait for the memoirs of those who were involved.

His remarks suggest that he believes first-hand accounts from people who participated in the negotiations could provide a different picture from theories or later recollections.
The exchange is likely to attract interest in Kenya’s history, especially as leaders and commentators revisit past alliances, constitutional debates and decisions that shaped the country’s political direction.
