Controversial lawyer Miguna Miguna is probably one of the most vocal political commentators in the country. He is not shy of calling out anything that rattles him.
Hardly, however, will Miguna talk about his family, a part of his life that he has guarded and protected.
In his book, Peeling Back the Mask: Quest for Justice in Kenya published in 2012, the lawyer talked about his first marriage to a Caribbean woman.
The lawyer narrated that he and his first wife, Tracey Wynter, started their relationship in 1995, a few months after he had been admitted to the bar.
Later that year, on July 14, 1995, Wynter delivered their firstborn daughter, Atieno Juma, at the Wesley Hospital. At the time, the couple was living in a one-bedroom apartment at Chatham Avenue in Toronto.
In addition, the lawyer stated that he was not financially stable at the time, hence, he could not have afforded a bigger house.
He stated that Atieno took more than nine months to be born - post-term pregnancy - something that led the doctor to suggest they do an epidural.
Miguna disclosed that he had wanted to call her daughter Akinyi but the name was too hard to pronounce for his wife, hence, he settled on Atieno.
On December 4, 1996, Miguna's second born was born. It was a boy. At the time, Miguna had a house in Bradford, Canada.
Miguna's relationship with Wynter ended in January 1998. It is not clear why the two separated.
In April 1998, Miguna flew back to Kenya where his close friend Anthony Ochieng' introduced him to Jane, who ended up becoming Miguna's second wife.
On Thursday, February 13, the two celebrated their 20th marriage anniversary. Miguna took to social media to celebrate his wife and three daughters.
"My lovely wife, the girls and I celebrated our 20th anniversary of marriage, revolutionary love, affection and focus. No matter what the despots and conmen do, we are focused like laser beams! Viva!" Miguna stated.
Previously, Miguna stated that his wives and children live in Canada a bid to protect them from the dangers of Miguna Miguna’s involvement in active politics.
"The risk of them being attacked by violent people was too much, so I can’t have them here. There was a time somebody paid someone to try to poison me. I am involved in active politics and I publicly take hard positions on issues of national interest and of course, there will be people who won’t like what I say and do," he told The Standard in an interview.
