What is the public opinion on the script?
will Miguna quench his thirst thoroughly??
Let's wait and see!

 

[Gaijin]

Miguna ameandika kitabu na amejaribu kutoa maelezo ya kwanini ameandika kitabu hivi sasa na si wakati mwengine.

Amejenga a strong case against Raila na watu wake huku akituburudisha kwa mbwembwe na madoido ya kiuandishi.

Mwanamme ana tambo hadi kuwaweka wanawake wawili wa Kizungu "uke wenza"

Miguna stings Raila in new book

By David Ohito

Nairobi, Kenya: Miguna Miguna is back with yet another book that hits the bookstores this weekend. Like expected he is bold, curt and launches another stinging attack on Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

Miguna Miguna is on a literary war path in his new book Kidneys for the King- deforming the status quo which comes just months after the controversial Peeling Back The Mask which made headlines last year.

Published by Integrity Books, Miguna Miguna has readied the launch of his 370 page book which delves into the politics in government at Panafric Hotel on Saturday where he will officially unveil his latest literary work. The book will retail at USD 27 about Sh850 for the paperback edition.

"Everybody is waiting for my book and it will be launched this weekend. People know the quality of my work and writing and they will buy it I am certain," Miguna said in an interview.

Known for his outspoken approach, Miguna Miguna stirred the hornets' nest when while serving as advisor to Raila on constitutional and legal affairs but was suspended in an unclear manner.

It is interesting how he has changed the spelling of Raila's name to Rayila.
His first book was published by Gilgamesh Publishing and stirred controversy moments after launch and was further greeted with mixed feelings as he promoted it in various counties across the country.

Miguna Miguna served as a senior advisor for coalition, constitutional and legal affairs to the Prime Minister between March 2008 and August 2011.

Excerpts of Kidneys for the King mailed to the media include touchy issue of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the visit last October by the court's prosecutor.

Here are the excerpts:

"Later, however, as I met the investigators in Nairobi when the ICC Prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, visited Kenya in October 2012, they suddenly showed no interest "in evidence that will not help us nail the four accused persons". They weren't interested in any evidence against Prime Minister Raila Odinga. It was quite clear to me that a decision had been made (somewhere) to extend immunity to the two coalition partners. Yet I knew that under the Rome Statute, no one-not even a sitting president like al-Bashir of Sudan, was entitled to immunity. "Why are the rules being bent in the Kenyan case," I asked myself..."(...)

In Chapter six entitled the ‘Nettle sting' he recounts the academic journey of his former boss Raila saying: "Rayila was expelled in grade six, two years before he could sit for his KAPE. Only those who passed KAPE could proceed to secondary school. Those who passed competitive examinations in secondary school could proceed to high school. And it was only successful high school graduates who would proceed to colleges and universities. It's unclear from Badejo's book, the story Rayila told me, and the information in his resume if Rayila did and passed the Competitive Entrance Examination (CEE), which was done in grade four before a pupil could proceed from primary to intermediate level. Needless to say, by the time Rayila left Kenya for the GDR, he hadn't completed intermediate school and wasn't qualified to proceed to high school. This begs the question: how did Rayila proceed to high school in the GDR?

"IT IS NOT A CRIME to be wealthy", Rayila declares in Badejo's book. "We should encourage that under a free enterprise system. The problem arises when people use office to accumulate", he added.

" That's a classical refrain from many people in Kenya who cannot convincingly explain the sources of their fabulous wealth.

"Rayila had given that "explanation" on the Kenya Television Network (KTN) on November 21, 2002. Badejo quoted it with approval at page 280 of his book on Rayila. On a quick reading, we might not have any serious problems with that statement. Rayila probably meant that acquiring wealth irregularly while holding public office is a crime. Yes, it is. However, the real elephant in the room is how Rayila Odinga himself acquired his billions in the past twenty years..."(...)

[Geza Ulole]

I hear ye bro!

...hope you downloaded a copy of the last one.

...hii nikipata I will surely avail you a copy.

Meanwhile, dont get me wrong the guy is a friend. Mimi aliponiacha mataani is how he went about marketing the
last book. On a personal level the guy forgot about most of those who were with him in the trenches.

Alipokua hapa Canada he was ok...mainly to the male folk....wanawake wanamtazamo wao and I wont
speak for them. When he got with Raila and then started having fantasies of becoming Kenya's next
Attorney General, then the Luo in him started coming out. If you have lived amongst Luos, especially the Kenyan
type, then you will understand what I'm talking about.

Then the his ego got the best of him in the PM's office and the rest is history. Iko ishu nyengine siezi kuandika
hapa na itabidi niku-PM ndiposa unielewe. There is no love lost for the guy and like you say, love him or hate
him the man can hold his own...without a doubt.

I'm still wondering what happened to his quest for the gubernatorial seat of Nairobi County. After he wrote
the first book he was waxing lyrical about running for office. Those in the know what happened.

i will need a copy also! But to be fair the guy sounds intellect regardless of his pompousness, antics, jibes and bad loser attitude! And he will reap way handsomely coming March 04! :becky:

 

[Kabaridi]

What word did you use Ab-titchaz against miguna miguna about his strident loathsome attitude towards women? I feel that is untrue, becuase the guy has a wife and children. so this might have been doing rounds at the BP/shell house offices

Moreover, he was once charged for sexual harassing a woman way back when he was practicing as an advocate in Canada!

Miguna is useless. Very emotional.

Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga's aide Miguna Miguna now claims his former boss chaired ODM meetings where funds were raised to buy deadly arsenal to be used against PNU supporters in the Rift Valley.

He also said President Kibaki and Raila should be held responsible for the crimes committed during that period claiming that they bear the greatest responsibility as stated in the Rome Statute.

“So why is Raila off the hook? And even on the other side? He (Kibaki) was the commander in chief with instruments of power. What was Uhuru at the time, a mere MP for Gatundu and Chairman of KANU,” Miguna said.
He was speaking at a Nairobi Hotel during the launch of another stinging book on the PM title, Kidneys for the King: Deforming the Status Quo in Kenya.

As he made the sensational allegations, the controversial lawyer cum author declared his support for Jubilee Presidential candidate Uhuru Kenyatta saying he wants Raila sent permanently by voters to his rural home in Bondo..

In his new text that hit the book stalls Saturday, Miguna delves into the thorny issue of the International Criminal Court and theand the visit last October by the court’s prosecutor Fatou Bensouda.

“Later, however, as I met the investigators in Nairobi when the ICC Prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, visited Kenya in October 2012, they suddenly showed no interest “in evidence that will not help us nail the four accused persons”. They weren’t interested in any evidence against Prime Minister Raila Odinga,” Miguna writes.

“It was quite clear to me that a decision had been made (somewhere) to extend immunity to the two coalition partners. Yet I knew that under the Rome Statute, no one—not even a sitting president like al-Bashir of Sudan, was entitled to immunity. “Why are the rules being bent in the Kenyan case,” I asked myself...”

In Chapter six entitled the Rayila, the ‘Nettle sting’, he questions the academic credentials of his former boss saying: “Rayila was expelled in grade six, two years before he could sit for his KAPE. Only those who passed KAPE could proceed to secondary school. Those who passed competitive examinations in secondary school could proceed to high school. And it was only successful high school graduates who would proceed to colleges and universities,”

He adds: It’s unclear from Badejo’s book (Raila’s autobiography), the story Rayila told me, and the information in his resume if Rayila did and passed the Competitive Entrance Examination (CEE). - The Standard

 

[Tiba]

Huyu Miguna hata uwa simuelewi, kwa nini anataka Wakenya wote waungane naye kwenye ugomvi wao binafsi kati yake na Laila? Na kwa nini hakuwahi kuzungumzia hiyo mikutano ya kununua silaha wakati ule? Alikuwa anaona kila kitu kiko sawa ila sasa anaona haikuwa sawa? This is highest level of hypocricy!!!!Lakini namuunga mkono kwa upande mwingine kwamba Laila alikuwa nyuma ya yale mauaji!!!Sasa tujiulize ni kwa nini yeye hakushtakiwa pamoja na kwamba ushahidi upo kama huu wa Miguna?

Tiba

 

[Crucial Man]

Huyu miguna ni mwenda wazimu,kumbe ndio maana moi alitaka amfute kwenye ramani ya dunia.kalambishwa pesa na uhuru ili amchafue raila.sizani kama mtu mwenye akili timamu atanunua hicho kitabu chake labda mabosi wake uhuruto,ksh850 kwa mkenya wa kawaida ni nyingi sana kupoteza kwa kitabu ambacho kimebase kumchafua mtu mmoja.kwa mtu mwenye akili timamu na analenga kufanya biashara kupitia hayo makalatasi yake asinge anyosha wazi kwamba anamsuport uhuru,ila kwa kuwa ameweka hadharani basi nasi tumeshatambua sababu za kumchafua raila kupitia vijitabu vyake.shame on you bush lawyer miguna.ndio maana hata kwao walimzika,arudi canada akatawaze wazungu.

 

[Kiranga]

I am curious to read Miguna's latest, even as I find his candidate fallible. I guess there is virtues in the concept of going for the lesser devil.
Ab-Titchaz upoo?

 

[Geza Ulole]

People like Miguna will incite Kenya into violence out of their selfishness! Though i agree that Raila (written Rayila in Miguna's book to avoid suit) might have in one way or another taken part in the PEV but it has to be remembered his wisdom and clemency saved Kenya out of falling into a total war! And the ICC knows this well in advance that's why he has not been implicated apart from the fact the Mumbis decision to sabotage the election results and their refusal to allow him ascend to power! Nothing to wonder about the ICC decision, it is only those with ethnic and selfish agenda will question the wisdom of ICC!

 

[Ab-Titchaz]

Mkuu nipo...just canvassing to get a pdf copy of the damn thing.

 

[Kiranga]

Mkuu nipo...just canvassing to get a pdf copy of the damn thing.

Mkuu.

Had it been anyone else, even the fronting and usurping types, I would have fired some heavy caliber shots, half coalescing so to speak.

But you have proved yourself an asset to the forum before, however slightly in your perception, those who know how to appreciate will.

Hence the special invitation, in a way a nod of a confessional acknowledgement that it is not just right for this thread to maintain the slightest chance of obscurity by the likes of The Teacher.

Your canvassing is much appreciated. Let it be known.

And some of us who treasure the physical collection from Livy and Herodotus to the latest works of Miguna need no justification, if at all one is needed at all. We are reconstructing Alexandria and beyond.

Focus Africa is the inevitable slogan now.

Miguna gives Uhuru his blessings

In Summary

• Former aide to Prime Minister Raila Odinga says Jubilee Coalition is less corrupt than Cord

A former aide of Prime Minister Raila Odinga, Mr Miguna Miguna, on Saturday endorsed Jubilee Coalition leader Uhuru Kenyatta for the presidency.


Mr Miguna said although Jubilee was not the "cleanest," it was less tainted than Mr Odinga's Cord.

Speaking at the launch of his new book, Kidneys for the King: De-forming the Status Quo in Kenya, Mr Miguna said: "I'm backing Uhuru. I want him to give Odinga a thrashing."

Mr Miguna said more members of Cord were involved in scandals than those of Jubilee.

Mr Miguna said Mr Kenyatta should not be blamed for the acquisition of land by his father and that the only blemish in his career was a typographical error in the Budget when he was Finance minister.

He also said it was also wrong for people to criticise Mr Kenyatta for being Kikuyu.

Mr Miguna, however, said if he was in Mr Kenyatta or former Eldoret North MP William Ruto's shoes, who are facing crimes against humanity charges at the International Criminal Court, he would not have run for the presidency. "But Uhuru Kenyatta is entitled to his decision," he said.

He said indications from conversations with foreign diplomats were that Kenya could face sanctions and trade repercussions if Jubilee wins. He said although the envoys did not say whether their countries would recall their ambassadors and cut diplomatic ties, "they could", adding that the United Nations Environment Programme headquarters at Gigiri could be moved.

Mr Miguna said he had told the ICC he had evidence that could implicate Mr Odinga in the 2007 post-election violence but they said they were only interested on information touching on the four people facing trial.

He said Mr Odinga, who was the ODM candidate in 2007, and President Kibaki, who was Commander in-Chief of the armed forces, should have been charged.

Kidneys for the King is a sequel to Mr Miguna's bestseller, Peeling Back the Mask. It brings into focus the controversies, mis-steps and missed opportunities during the constitutional review as well as what the author perceives as deliberate efforts to subvert the Constitution.

Mr Miguna uses his second book more or less to respond to occurrences that followed the launch of his first one last year July and hits back at critics who saw his first book as a political weapon to down Mr Odinga after the two fell out.

Mr Miguna had claimed he "could take all the leaders to The Hague" but in the new book says he "misspoke and made a serious error".

"I allowed myself to be carried away by the excitement and heat of the moment, at least regarding those I claimed I could take to The Hague. It was a serious error," he says in trying to put the record straight.

Miguna kwneye kitabu chake katufumbua macho ya kuwa Raila alikuwa anawasiliana na Willy Mutungi ambaye ni jaji mkuu kwa emails na hizo emails zimo kwenye hicho kitabu.

Unapoona Mutungi anajitokeza hadharani na kudai anawindwa na Mungiki badala ya kwenda polisi ujue anacheza karata ya raila ambaye hataki Uhuruto kuwa kwenye ballot box.......

Asichojua serikali ya Jubilee ambayo itaundwa hivi karibuni haitamwongezea muda wa kuwa jaji Mkuu.......jaji hapaswi kucheza karata za wanasiasa...........anashusha hadhi ya ofisi anayoisimamia.....
