Miguna Miguna Exposes Unknown Secrets about Raila's January 30th Mock Swearing-in

Deported Kenyan lawyer Miguna Miguna now claims that President John Pombe Magufuli turned down opposition leader Raila Odinga's request to have him sworn-in as ‘people’s president’ at the Kenyan High Commission in Tanzania on January 30th.

In his newly released book dubbed ‘Treason: The Case Against Tyrants & Renegades', Miguna notes that Raila had listed Kenyan embassies in Dar es Salaam and Ghana as alternative venues for the inauguration ceremony if the Jubilee government blocked them from using Uhuru Park Grounds in Nairobi.

The self-declared National Resistance Movement (NRM) general says Odinga sent Siaya Senator James Orengo to talk to President Magufuli about the plan, but the Tanzania leader declined and even advised against the swearing-in plan.

“According to Orengo, Magufuli believed that leadership was ‘a gift from God’ and that if God had not given Raila that gift,there was no reason to pursue our plans and that Raila should forget about being sworn in as The People’s President,” an excerpt from the book reads.

“In other words, Magufuli was of the view that God did not want Raila to be the president of Kenya. I found such statements to be outrageous. God had not manipulated the August 8, 2017 General Election.”

Miguna further explains that at a meeting held at a top hotel in Westlands, Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho proposed the mock swearing- in ceremony be held in Kilifi.

“He (Joho) said that the Mijikenda were warriors, just like the Turkana, Pokot or Samburu, and that if the police or any other state security agents tried to disrupt the event in Kilifi, ‘the Mijikenda would unleash hellfire on them,’” he writes.

Miguna also reveals that he was summoned to former Machakos Senator Johnston Muthama’s house on December 9th, 2017 to draft Raila's inaugural speech and oath.

After this, he says they drove to businessman Jimmy Wanjigi’s residence in Muthaiga where he later discovered that they were to swear-in Odinga on that very day.

At Wanjigi's mansion, Odinga went outside to receive a call and when he came back, he told them that his fellow Nasa co-principals Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetangula insisted that they push the swearing in to a later date.

“As soon as he said that, Muthama passed me his mobile phone. ‘Breaking news! Raila’s swearing in on December 12 has been postponed,’ I read from the Nation mobile news alert. We looked at each other — Orengo, Jimmy and me. We were thunderstruck,” writes Miguna.
