Former ODM leader Raila Odinga and exiled lawyer Miguna Miguna are both set to feature in interviews on Sunday, January 26.
The former allies are both set to be on air at the same time (9 p.m.), albeit on different stations, with Miguna interview with Anne Kiguta on K24, while Raila will be on NTV.
Miguna's highly anticipated interview had Kenyans talking, with some questioning his decision to appear on a station associated with the Kenyatta family. In addition, several of his interviews have exploded into life, with most moderators having a had time trying to steer the conversation.
"General Miguna, will you be honouring an interview with a station associated with whom you refer to as ‘despot?’ Is that ‘revolutionary?’ Help me understand, thanks," Nick Omari posted on Twitter.
The self-proclaimed National Resistant Movement general was quick to claim that all media houses were owned by one person or the other.
"They also own NTV and Citizen TV. Your desperation won't bother us," Miguna claimed.
He has been a vocal critic of the handshake between Raila and President Uhuru Kenyatta, a pact he claimed was just another avenue the people in power had created to loot public funds.
"The person who has grabbed millions of acres of land belonging to the people of Coast is Uhuru Kenyatta and his family. The Kenyatta's must return all the land they have grabbed to the people before you try to deceive Kenyans at the BBI in Mombasa," he tweeted.
The self-styled National Resistance Movement (NRM) leader landed in Toronto, Canada from Berlin, Germany on Thursday, January 23, after his attempts to return to Kenya proved to be an exercise in futility.
His lawyer John Khaminwa spoke to Kenyans.co.ke revealing that they would initiate contempt of court proceedings against all respondents in the Miguna case including the AG and Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i as soon as Monday, January 27.
"We will file contempt of court proceedings against all the respondents including the Attorney-General. I'll be in court early next week.
His highly anticipated interview had Kenyans trooping to K24 presenter Anne Kiguta's social media pages to ask if she was ready for the fiery lawyer.
Miguna had earlier on claimed that NTV had terminated Raila's interview, with thousands of Kenyans set to be split between the 2 interviews on Sunday night.
The former Prime Minister is scheduled to be interviewed by NTV's Joseph Warungu.
Warungu is a former head of African News and Current Affairs at British broadcaster BBC and describes himself as a TV host and moderator as well as a media trainer and media consultant.
