The self proclaimed NRM general Miguna Miguna, who was also the former advisor to NASA leader Raila Odinga had boldly rejected the decision by his former boss to work with the Jubilee government to unite Kenyans. In a statement Issued in Canada, Miguna has vowed to continue with the struggle for electoral justice.
I have been advised of
media reports that the People’s President, Raila Amolo Odinga has “reconciled”
with the despotic president Uhuru Kenyatta. I understand that Mr. Odinga has
further stated that the “conflict is over” and called on the country to
“reconcile and move on.”
Mr. Odinga’s
unilateral, irrational and erratic decision to betray the fight for electoral
justice, the culture of impunity and the flagrant abuse of human rights that
have become routine under the illegitimate regime of Uhuru Kenyatta and William
Ruto cannot be justified.
Between July 2017 to
the present, Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto have murdered more than 380
innocent civilians in cold blood. These martyrs were butchered by agents of the
illegitimate Jubilee administration they were perceived to be “supporters” of
Raila Odinga.
These victims of a
brutal and blood curdling regime include Baby Pendo, 9-yeasr old Stephanie
Moraa, 7-year old Geoffrey Mutinda, the I.E.B.C.’s director for technology
Chris Msando, the 18 young men who perished during Raila Odinga’s homecoming
journey between the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and the Central
Business District on November 17, 2018, the three people who were shot dead by
the gangster regime at Ahero Town as they protested against my illegal
abduction, incommunicado detention without trial and forceful exile in February
2018, and many more who have died as they protested against the fraudulent
election of August 8th, 2017.
As Raila Odinga and
Uhuru Kenyatta toast, hug and laugh in Nairobi, I remain marooned in Canada
because I swore the former in at Uhuru Park on January 30th, 2018. I am here
against my will. I am here despite the fact that I have a birthright to be in
Kenya. I am here against my will because the illegitimate regime of Uhuru
Kenyatta and William Ruto violated my constitutional and human rights,
subverted the constitution, disobeyed multiple court orders and refused to
operate within the rule of law.
In other words, the
“reconciliation” between Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila is a fundamental betrayal of
the hundreds of innocent Kenyans who have lost their lives fighting for
democracy and in defense of Raila Odinga’s stolen electoral victories of 2007,
2013 and 2017.
The 'bridges"
Raila Odinga and Uhuru Kenyatta are talking about and intend to build will turn
Kenya into an authoritarian and despotic Kenyatta and Odinga Monarchy.
The “reconciliation”
betrays the principles for which the National Resistance Movement Kenya (NRMKe)
was established, which is to fight for electoral justice, social justice, the
protection of and respect for the constitution and our fragile democracy,
respect for the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary.
It betrays everything
the NRMKe and I have stood and fought for. As such, I cannot support it.
True reconciliation of
Kenyans is not about two people shaking hands but building a just and equal
society governed by the rule of law, respect for human rights and an end to
corruption and tribalism.
The "reconciliation"
Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga are talking about is not intended to help the
unemployed youth get jobs and the millions of homeless Kenyans get shelter. It
is not intended to help the struggling workers; the professionals and middle class
secure their future and livelihoods. It is meant to cement the 55-year
domination by a few elites and families over 99 per cent of suffering Kenyans.
I will return to Kenya
on March 26, 2018 so as to continue the struggle for electoral justice and the
culture of impunity that both Raila Odinga and Uhuru Kenyatta now represent.
I will join with all
progressive Kenyans in bringing about concrete, substantive and fundamental
structural and institutional changes that Kenyans deserve.
Aluta Continua.
Aluta Continua.
