2024 – Prominent lawyer Miguna
Miguna has advised former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua not to give up the
fight even after losing the impeachment battle that saw Prof. Kithure Kindiki
sworn in as the next Deputy President.
Taking to his X account, Miguna
voiced his support for the impeached Gachagua in a rare move that has caught many
by surprise.
He urged the former DP to go all
the way to Kenya’s Apex Court to fight his impeachment even though it is now
overtaken by events.
“To Rigathi Gachagua:
Fight all the way to the Supreme Court. It doesn’t matter if they rule against
you. Do it for the record,” Miguna urged.
According to Miguna, going all
the way to the apex court would also expose the judiciary and the emptiness of
the charges leveled against him.
“Also do it expose the emptiness
of the charges because they are planning to arraign you in court in due course
and you must expose them in open court- from the compromised three-judge bench
to the colonized Supreme Court,” his statement read in part.
Miguna Miguna stated that although he previously disagreed with Gachagua for supporting the late President Daniel Moi in the 1980s, he would still stand by him now, as he believes Gachagua is a victim of a political witch hunt.
“For some of us it doesn’t
matter that we have disagreed with you since 1987 at the University of Nairobi,
when we valiantly fought against Daniel Arap Moi’s tyranny which you supported
and we ended up in the Nyayo Torture Chambers and exile while you have been on
the side of repression and plunder throughout your life,” Miguna added.
Miguna warned Gachagua against
bowing under pressure from the government, intimating that a surrender by the
former DP would effectively signal the end of his political career.
“If you surrender, Ruto will
bury you without clothes. Never, ever, kneel down before anyone,” the lawyer
claimed.
