Miguna Miguna charged in a Kajiado court this morning DPP

The office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has told the court in Nairobi that self-proclaimed NRM General Miguna Miguna was on Tuesday morning charged before Kajiado Court.

According to the charge sheet presented in court, Miguna was charged with being present and consenting to the administration of an oath to commit a capital offense namely treason contrary to Section 59 (a) of the penal code.

“On the 30th day of January 2018, at Uhuru Park in Nairobi County, jointly with others not before court, were present and consented to the administration of an oath to Raila Amollo Odinga purporting to bind the said Raila Amollo Odinga to commit a capital offense of treason.

Miguna’s lawyers led by Senior counsel John Khaminwa and Nelson Havi however insisted that the Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet and Director of Criminal Investigations George Kinoti be held in contempt of court for failing to appear before court and failing to produce their client in court.

“Miguna Miguna is alive. There will be no need to put the two in cells. The two officers have sent two able senior officers to represent them; Assistant Inspector Stanley Cheruyiot and Amos Omuga from DCI, “argued DPP

“They are attending a national security meeting,” he added

While claiming that the charge sheet is defective and looks suspicious, Miguna’s advocates now want the court to direct the Kajiado court to release their client and his file to Milimani court.

Justice Luka Kimaru has directed the DPP to appear before court at 12:00pm to confirm whether Miguna has been charged.

The ruling will be delivered at 2pm.
