NASA leader Raila Odinga on Friday revealed that he had asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to include outspoken lawyer Miguna Miguna in the handshake deal.
Speaking during a London forum, the former Prime Minister further revealed that he had asked Miguna to come back to the country by following the right procedure.
“I am the one who brought Miguna into NASA, and Miguna was one of those who swore me in as the people's president. And I raised this issue with Uhuru Kenyatta myself.
"I said Miguna must be part of the package of this handshake, and I talked to Miguna myself and told him to come back," he revealed.

Odinga further divulged that during Miguna's deportation, he held his hand but was stopped by police because the self-declared NRM general had not produced his passport.
“The following morning they invited officials from the Canadian High Commission to the airport who then gave Miguna forms to sign so they could be stamped but he tore them up," he added.
This comes at a time when Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko nominated the troubled advocate to be his deputy.
Some quarters allege that the governor is using Miguna as a shield to prevent his impeachment which would mean Miguna would take over (if he is approved).
Jubilee Party MCAs have maintained that they will not let Miguna be second in command since he holds dual-citizenship and has a record of causing trouble.
It remains to be seen whether he will accept Sonko's nomination since just a few months ago he referred to the governor as a criminal.
