The controversial lawyer Miguna Miguna has weighed in on the ongoing feud between Rigathi Gachagua and President William Ruto by subtly slamming the former deputy president for allegedly lying to Kenyans.
Miguna, known for his outspoken nature on social media, aimed a swipe at Gachagua after the former deputy president vowed to 'deal with Ruto' at the 2027 general elections.
"It’s also wrong for you to mislead Kenyans that the problems of abuse of power, repression, and barbarism 'will be sorted out kwa debe in 2027," Miguna said on X, formerly Twitter.
The lawyer was referring to Gachagua's earlier sentiments at a church service in Mwiki on Sunday, April 6, which was almost derailed by goons.
Gachagua had earlier blamed the attack on the president and Nairobi governor Johnson Sakaja as he urged his supporters not to retaliate but, instead, wait for 2027 to oust Ruto through the ballot.
But according to Miguna, this method was not sustainable, with the lawyer accusing Gachagua of misleading his own supporters.
"I don’t even care that you might have been sarcastic, cowardly, or both. Attacks on Kenyans must be condemned and fought. It's not okay," Miguna added.
His sentiments followed scathing comments by Gachagua on Sunday in the wake of a harrowing incident that saw the former DP's security detail fire gunshots to disperse a rowdy group who intended to infiltrate a church service Gachagua was attending.
In the aftermath, Gachagua cautioned his supporters against retaliating, as he faulted the president for allegedly orchestrating efforts to frustrate him.
"My President. What happened to you? In a church? You have reached a different level. You sent me goons in Limuru last week, you sent goons to Nyeri, and now you've sent them to church. You have become bold," Gachagua claimed.
Miguna also theorised that Gachagua would be miscalculating to wait until the polls to floor his former boss, as he alleged that there was a plan to compromise the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
These sentiments were incidentally echoed by Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka, who alleged on Tuesday, April 1, that the current process of recruiting new IEBC commissioners and a chairperson went against the National Dialogue Committee's (NADCO) foundations.
