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.

Miguna Miguna, let me advise you. Nobody want to hear that nonsense of swearing in of Raila Odinga as so called people's president-even Raila himself. That is relic of the past. Raila moved on, Kalonzo moved on, Kenya moved and everybody moved on. You need a reality check. You are a Canadian and I advise you to leave Kenyan politics to Kenyans. Stop interfering with Kenyan politics or economic sanctions will be imposed on you including seizing your house in Runda estate
@Dr. Koni Hanene, your unrelenting and long standing vendetta with Miguna Miguna plus your cult like following of Raila has clouded your mind, you can't even tell a confession when you see it. This man Miguna Miguna has come face to face with his sins and is exposing what most sane Kenyans have always known about Raila and co. Raila has been a menace, a great threat to peace and harmony in our nation. Think about it, once he went with his daughter looking for a handshake at Harambee house,(after dumping NASA flower girls), the entire wave of madness, violence, looting, burning of people's, property and schools- the mistrust and anxiety that had engulfed the country came to a screeching end. Once you apprehend a rapist, all the rapping stops and the city breaths in peace again. This is simple logic. Raila is a political gang banger who creates havoc under the guise of helping wananchi. Whom has he ever helped, when? In 1982 coup attempt, Raila, using a British lawyer walked free while many Lou airforce men were hanged and hundreds imprisoned by Moi for treason that Raila masterminded. Swearing in was never about a stolen election, even fools know that. It was a coup attempt using the innocent Kenyans-and some foreign Embassies in Nairobi know the whole script! Wake up Hanene!
Dr. Hanene's support for Raila is Nothing compared to mine. I am way up there.
If "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 ......" then he (Magufuli) does NOT know God; or Simply does NOT know what he is Talking about. Or he is just an IMAGINER.
My take: As the LORD Liveth! God has given Raila the Gift of Leadership. So if what Miguna is ALLEGING Magufuli said is what Magufuli really said: Then Magufuli is Non-Gifted "leader" and a Fake.😙
Oh jeez. Stop bothering God. He has had enough of you that is why he fitted you with an eternally complaining tongue.
These people belong to icc
@Guest1,certainly RAO is a leader:A luo leader.The problem of invoking God in such matters is that,it cannot be proven.If Uhuru Kenyatta wakes up tomorrow and tell the nation that God has chosen him to lead Kenya for 25 years how many Christian's will go with this...
The constitution in written by man and I doubt if its inspired by God.We the people shall elect our leaders based on how good they are at conning us.Or should I say convince us during campaign...
Next the mpigs will say that,it is God's will that they get free cars and free housing and as many concubines and wives,as King Solomon the wise man...
And of course iam assuming that what miguna claims actually transpired...
This conman is just broke and hungry. But must he turnish other people's names, writing nonsense that no one is going to buy anyway?
Keep Talking Miguna, the real Kenyans deserve your truth!
Hehehehe miguna u have balls of steel.Thank you for letting the Luo/ luhya majority brainwashed by ondinga family knows the truth thou u yourself is an educated big fool too coz with such education u have from canada u can partake the raila hogalism??I thot the guys wenye wanesomea majuu should have a big difference na wakenya wenye wanesomea kenya.I can see foolishness is in ones head whether u have phd or masters from harvard or preston???I have always said if i was uhuru i could have made sure raila goes to jail for a long long time coz he remains a killer useless maggot.
Miguna Miguna is an irrelevant creature probably too smart to save his own ASS, what came out of that lunga lunga dance? You might just perish in EXILE.
Rao and M&M stood shoulder to shoulder for a purpose, but M&M used the purpose in an attempt to ornament himself, while Baba used the occasion to equip himself. So by "exposing" the secrets, M&M is certainly exposing himself and the other handlers but not Baba. Baba knows his way around, navigates ambiguity with ease and had the last laugh. My folks have a saying to the effect that an old man seated on a traditional stool see much further than a young lad perched on the tallest mango tree. Of interest to me would be the secrets of the "grand handshake".
Nonesense!! RAO has never been in charge of Kenya and Kenya has been in the dumps since independence. Thugs stealing elections and systematically raping Kenyans. The biggest morons are their supporters who are brainwashed singing their tunes to their graves. None can match RAO, he’s flourished through adversities being labeled ‘state enemy #1’ for decades. Majority of his kinsmen have flourished despite state engineered biases.Y’ll only hate him coz you’re jealous even the illegitimate drunk had to bow down to him ati handshake. Keep hating and while you’re at it get some fluoride to whiten them teeth a little. Kenyan reknown thieves, rapists and animals molesters are from one region and we all know it
That bitterness! Better tame it before it eats you up.
@ufisadi moses kuria gatundu mpig one time he said if u die go to heaven n meet raila just know ur in HELL coz that's where he belongs?N millions of voters agree with moses.The day raila will die millions will celebrate because he is a killer,economic saboteurs,useless old man?
Miguna wa Miguna aka Judas wa Judas. Bure Kabisa.😰
