NRM leader Raila Odinga has not gone to Githunguri cell to rescue Miguna despite calls by NASA supporters for crowd mobilization.Raila has not even spoken about Miguna’s arrest—rarely does he keep quiet on such matters.There is one reason why the people’s president has given Miguna’s case a cold shoulder.
In 2012,Miguna Miguna,the only Luo man with two identical names published a book titled, ‘Peeling Back the Mask”. In the book, the lawyer, who was at the time Raila’s Chief Advisor,exposed the NASA leader badly, he embarrassed Raila so much that the former Prime Minister lost in the 2013 elections. In the book,Miguna wrote the following:
“I’ve made a decision, a final decision in relation to Raila Amolo Odinga; I shall never ever work with or for Raila Amolo Odinga again here on earth, in heaven or in hell. My wife, Children and relatives feel the same way. A man- any man- who can do what Raila did to me is capable of killing another person, an innocent person, for absolutely no reason at all, just so his ego and insecurities can be assuaged temporary. If Raila was in possession of the only key to the door to heaven, I would ask to be directed to hell, before running there with all my strength. I would demand to be shown the castle of fire where Obell Sibour presides, and upon reaching there, I would request to be placed in the hottest furnace so that I could burn to ashes immediately. I would rather die than work with or for Raila Amolo Odinga.”
Raila has a bone to pick with Miguna,he is in fact praying that Miguna stay in the cell for some time so that he can repay the sins he committed in 2012.
