City advocate and NRM self-proclaimed general, Miguna Miguna has once again attacked the Supreme Court for its validation of President Uhuru Kenyatta's October 26 re-election.
In a statement on his Facebook page Monday, Miguna questioned the criteria used by the Chief Justice David Maraga-led bench to uphold the victory despite the election not having been conducted in all the constitutions as stipulated by the constitution.
''This is for the despotic surrogates; "legal puritans;" "objectivists;" and "neutral worshippers": Explain how it's constitutional & legal for @dkmaraga and the #wakoranetwork to disregard Art. 138(2) that requires that presidential elections MUST be held in every constituency?,'' wondered Miguna.
While approving the re-election, the court threw out petitions filed by ex-Kilome lawmaker Harun Mwau and the Khelef Khalifa and Njonjo Mue duo, terming them as not merited.
Majority of constituencies the in the 4 Luo Nyanza counties of Kisumu, Homabay, Migori, and Siaya did not participate in the poll as a result of resistance and violence by residents, forcing the national poll body IEBC to keep off the areas in the exercise which was also abandoned by the opposition alliance NASA.
