Controversial lawyer Miguna Miguna has hit out at former Prime Minister Raila Odinga only hours after the death of Kibra Member of Parliament Ken Okoth.
Miguna has taken issue with Raila for mourning the departed leader, accusing him of pretence and insinuating that he might not be as affected as he is trying to show the nation.
Miguna, in a tweet hours after the announcement of Okoth's death, said that Raila was an anti-Okoth crusader, alleging that he arranged to have him stoned in the run-up to the 2017 polls.
The former Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant accused Raila of trying to use illegal ways to push Okoth out of the Kibera race in favour of his daughter Rosemary Odinga who was also eyeing the seat before she was taken ill.
He also observed that Okoth's seven-year tenure outdid Raila's 25 years when he represented the area when it was under the larger Langata constituency.
"The People's Con-Man is shedding crocodile tears like he always does. He viciously fought Ken Okoth and had him stoned in order to force Ken out of the Kibra race for his daughter, Rosemary. In less than ten years, Ken outperformed Raila's 25 years of poverty and ineptitude," wrote the former Raila aide.
Okoth succumbed to colon cancer a few weeks after returning from France where he had been undergoing treatment.
He was a member of Raila's Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party and died aged 41.
In his message of condolence, Raila expressed his deep sadness following Okoth's death, eulogising him as a brave leader who devoted himself to serving his people.
"I'm deeply saddened by the passing of our MP Hon. @okothkenneth. Ken battled Cancer with unique bravery while serving his voters to the last minutes of his life. May God grant peace and strength to his family and may he Rest In Peace," he tweeted.
