Controversial lawyer Miguna Miguna has turned against President William Ruto over a series of decisions he termed as costly to Kenyans.

In a statement on Thursday, the lawyer revealed that Ruto's administration was riddled with scandals that made it difficult for him to throw his unequivocal support for them.

Specifically, Miguna highlighted the ongoing doctors’ strike, the fake fertiliser scandal, the Haiti deployment saga, and the stance on Iran's attack on Israel as problematic areas.

"I voted for President William Ruto and supported his UDA Party against Azimio in the 2022 general and presidential elections," he stated.

"However, on the doctors’ strike, the fake fertiliser scandal, the Haitian imbroglio, retrogressive support for Israel, the tribal composition of the KK regime, and other scandals, I, General Miguna Miguna unequivocally say no."

He further equated the the regime to that of former President Uhuru Kenyatta whom he had fallen out on numerous occasions.

"Democracy, accountability, transparency in public affairs, equity, and constitutionalism are not negotiable," he added.

"Once any regime crosses the RED LINE, patriots and revolutionaries have a duty to PROTECT the public interests."

His lament came shortly after the Head of State had condemned Iran's decision to launch missiles on Israel in what seemed as a support for Israel.

"Kenya is deeply concerned by Iran's attack on the State of Israel. This disturbing development only serves to aggravate an already delicate situation in the Middle East," Ruto stated.

"The attack represents a real and present threat to international peace and security, contravenes the Charter of the United Nations and should be condemned by all peace-loving countries," he added.

Meanwhile, the country is embroiled in a four-week doctors strike which has paralysed services across the country leading to a supremacy battle between union heads and police officers.

Small farmers, on the other hand, risk reaping poor harvests after they were shortchanged by fake fertiliser in the name of a legit subsidised option promised by the regime.
