Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi has exposed lawyer Miguna Miguna's theatrics that caused mayhem inside the Raila Odinga-led National Super Alliance (NASA).
In his recently published book, Musalia Mudavadi: Soaring Above The Storms of Passion, the former presidential aspirant detailed that Miguna's return into Raila's circle after the 2017 election was responsible for the alliance.
He added that shortly after the controversial lawyer showed up, the former prime minister became secretive and largely operated as a lone ranger taking advice from Miguna.
He further revealed that it came as a shock to the coalition's principals when the National Resistance Movement (NRM) which Miguna was in charge and started preparing for Odinga’s swearing-in as people’s president.
“I must emphasise, NRM was not a creation of Nasa, nor was it a Nasa organ. It was just as mysterious to me as was the manner in which it was first introduced to Kenyans. So, too, was the sudden emergence of Miguna Miguna ‘the NRM General’.
He also noted that the fallout began on October 25, 2017, at a rally, a day before the repeat presidential election.
It all started after Raila pulled out of the presidential race after losing the first one was nullified by the Supreme Court and claimed that he had a groundbreaking message which, as it turned out, did not exist.
“I did not know what this earth-shaking message was. I established that none of the other three principals knew (it). And so like the rest of the country, we waited for October 25, 2017," continued Mudavadi.
The original deal was, as he later learned, that the repeat election would be nullified since it was believed that only President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila were eligible for the poll.
Their plan was, however, disrupted after the high court, just a day later, ruled that all other presidential contenders were eligible for the repeat poll.
“It would be dishonest to say that this situation did not throw us off balance. We may have put on brave faces in public but internally we knew things were not good at all,” he explained.
He further detailed that NRM took over Nasa operations leading to the controversial January 30, 2018, swearing-in.
