Miguna dismisses Sonko nomination as ‘malicious distraction’

Controversial lawyer and politician Miguna Miguna has broken his silence over Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko’s nomination for deputy governor.

Miguna, who is currently in Ontario, Canada has turned down the nomination terming it as “malicious distraction.”

“Good afternoon? I have no idea what nearly everyone seems to be talking about. It’s a malicious distraction. That’s all I am saying!” said Miguna.

He later took to social media disclosing that Governor Sonko had not consulted him on the nomination.

“Mr. Mike Sonko and I have not spoken, met or communicated since our gubernatorial debate in July 2017. I will not comment on malicious information, material or cheap propaganda circulating in the social media. Thank you,” Miguna tweeted.

Referring to the nomination as a ”distraction” Miguna reiterated that he remains focused on his push for a revolution in the country.

“The fundamental principle is that no battle, combat, or skirmish is to be fought unless it will be won.” – Che Guevara. Patriots, #NRMKe comrades and friends of Kenya: Just like on January 30th, 2018, I and we are FOCUSED like a laser beam. No distractions. No sideshows. Viva!” he said.

This brings to a halt the excitement brought about by the Wednesday night nomination by Governor Sonko which caught many by surprise.

Miguna’s lawyer Nelson Havi, while speaking to Jeff Koinange on Citizen TV’s #JKL said he hoped his client would accept the job offer.

“That is upon him to decide but I think he better accept the job. I would tell him to comeback home fast, he would even be given a diplomatic passport to travel,” he said.
