Exiled lawyer Miguna Miguna has poked holes into the commemoration of Kenya’s first Vice-President Jaramogi Oginga Odinga.
The self-proclaimed National Resistance Movement (NRM) leader has accused President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM Leader Raila Odinga of having spent more than Sh350 million to commemorate their deceased relatives at the expense of taxpayers.
He highlighted anniversaries of Odinga, Jomo Kenyatta and Fidel Odinga.
Miguna, who has been very vocal on matters of national interest, said that the two leaders have wrong priorities as far as leadership is concerned.
He also said that it is evident that they cannot end corruption since they are propagators of the same vice.
“Both Raila Odinga and Uhuru Kenyatta have wasted more than Sh350 million of our money from March 2018 to February 2019 in organizing public anniversaries and events for Oginga Odinga, Jomo Kenyatta and Fidel Odinga. This misuse of public money constitutes corruption!” he Tweeted.
He also said that Kenyans want the two to address key issues such as housing, jobs and health care among others instead of celebrating the dead.
“Kenyans, including the residents of Nyanza, are not looking for statutes for Jaramogi, Daniel Arap Moi or Jomo Kenyatta. They want jobs, food, running water, housing, universal health care and vibrant democracy where everyone operates within the law,” he tweeted.
The lawyer cum activist has been calling upon Kenyans to resist the Jubilee regime. He believes the current government has not lived up to the expectations of Kenyans.
