Lawyer Miguna Miguna has slammed Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga for asking President Uhuru Kenyatta to give Former Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth a job.
In a tweet on Thursday, Miguna said that the African Union Special Envoy should be ashamed of himself for asking the Head of State to give someone like Kenneth a job when there are young brilliant Kenyans who are jobless.
“Shame on you, @RailaOdinga. Instead of advocating for brilliant young Kenyans like Kelvin Ochieng' to be gainfully employed and EMPOWERED, you are begging Despot Uhuru to give Peter Kenneth - a billionaire thief who owns an insurance company and a bank - a job? Stop conmanship!" he tweeted.
Speaking during the burial of Kenneth’s mother, Mama Rahab Wambui, in Gatanga, Murang’a County on Thursday, Raila said that the former MP is a good man and deserves a government job. The former premier also said that he has worked with Kenneth before, adding that he proved to be a hardworking man.
“We are here to condole with you for losing Mama Rahab, who brought up this man ‘Muthongo wa Gatanga’ (Kenneth’s nickname) into the gentleman he is…. His ways, the way he handles his business and the way he presents himself you can see he is a gentleman. So, Mr President, this man needs to be given a job in government,” said Raila, as quoted by Citizen Digital.
