Jubilee Offered Me Nairobi Deputy Governor's Position Before Igathe, Miguna Miguna Says

Former Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant, Miguna Miguna claims that he was offered chance to be Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko's running mate before Jubilee Party settled on Polycarp Igathe.

Speaking on NTV’s AM Live show on Tuesday, Miguna said that he turned down the offer and opted to run for Nairobi Governor seat as an independent candidate.

The former Canada-based author and lawyer said that it was after he rejected the offer that Sonko went for former Vivo Energy Managing Director, Polycarp Igathe.

Miguna stated there was no way he could deputize Sonko, saying: "No, I cannot (work under Sonko). I was approached to do so before Igathe. How do you deputise someone who cannot tell his left from his right?” Miguna posed. "People skirt around this issue. The man was convicted and sentenced to jail for more than 6 months and ought not to have been allowed to run,” he added.

He said Igathe's resignation is as a result of electing ‘clueless’ individuals into office, instead of women and men of integrity.

Igathe threw in the towel last week Friday citing a strained relationship with Sonko.
