NASA MP Travels to Canada to Convince Miguna Miguna to Accept Nairobi Deputy Governor Job

Lurambi Member of Parliament Titus Khamala has traveled to Canada to meet self-declared National Resistance Movement (NRM) general Miguna Miguna.

The MP said he will use the meeting to convince Miguna to accept his nomination as Nairobi Deputy Governor by Governor Mike Sonko.

"I am going to look for Mr Miguna Miguna myself. I want to put sense into Miguna, you are the deputy governor for Nairobi, you intended to be the governor and now come and take the job, but I have to check my passport to ensure I am allowed to travel back to Kenya," Khamala said in a video where he says he's crossing the border to Canada from the United States.

In a letter to Nairobi County Assembly Speaker Beatrice Elachi last week, Governor Sonko said he had picked Miguna for the position that fell vacant after the resignation of former holder Polycarp Igathe.

“I hereby forward my nominee, Lawyer Miguna Miguna to undergo full vetting process and approval by the County Assembly for the position of Deputy Governor,” reads part of the letter.

“The nominee meets all the requirements provided for in the Constitution, the Leadership and Integrity Act, the Elections Act and County Government Act.”

Sonko told Citizen TV that his decision to nominate the fiery lawyer for the post was informed by the need to flush out cartels from the City Hall.

“I settled on Miguna Miguna so that he can help me in fighting the cartels. I know that Miguna is the number one ‘anti-cartel’ ,” said Sonko.
