Nyali MP Mohamed Ali has claimed that lawyer Miguna Miguna's return into the country may be facing frustration due to Luo Nyanza succession politics.
Dr. Miguna Miguna was barred from travelling home by Lufthansa and Air France airlines on grounds of "red alerts" from the government of Kenya.
However, Ali is blamed for Nyanza succession politics being the root of Miguna's woes. He alleged that Miguna's rising political profile in Nyanza region threatened those who sought to control the region politically.
He added that Raila's voice died after the handshake.
" Miguna Miguna is a threat to those who want to inherit Raila's political base in Nyanza. Miguna Miguna is the new face and voice of Luo Nyanza politics. Let's be sincere, Raila's voice ended immediately after the handshake," ( Miguna Miguna ni tishio kwa makaburu wanaotaka kumrithi Raila Odinga kisiasa. Miguna Miguna ndiye sura na sauti mpya katika Jamii ya wa- Luo. Raila Odinga amefifia baada ya salamu zao za kijeshi), the lawmaker said in a post on his Facebook page.
While in Kisii on Friday, the former Prime Minister denied claims that he is against the return of Dr Miguna said that the vocal lawyer is inconsequential in the country's political scene hence can never be his threat as people claim. He added that Miguna should comply with all the international requirements adding that the government is ready to facilitate his travel.
In Berlin for one week now, Dr Miguna has asked the state to respect the court orders which ordered his unconditional return into the country.
