I have been reading social media pages and on-line media and, have come to the view that the general theme is one and the same, Raila is to blame for Migunas woes. This is far from the case and is just like what happens every time Gor Mahia has a tiff or goes on a rampage to express it's displeasure over something or the other. The claim is always these Luos are uncouth, ill tempered and intolerant of others. Our narrow minded views and perceptions are what cause tension and tribal rift in this country. We take our queues from our misguided and self serving leaders and run with them like the gospel truth. When will we learn to look at the facts and make informed decisions by ourselves instead of waiting for what has been regurgitated by our so called politicians and cascaded to us like a five star course meal.
I cordon violence as a means to solve a problem but, Migunas own mouth is his worst enemy. I'm gravely concerned with the comments I read from people saying that since Miguna is being roughed up everywhere he goes, then one can only imagine Raila Odinga's government. All i see is the intolerance, prejudice, tribalism and irrational fear towards one individual being disguised as criticism. Miguna’s utterances lend credence to the view that he is driven by a vendetta. In his tour to market the book, he has done nothing but direct vitriol at Odinga. It is therefore not surprising the kind of reception he has been receiving in Nakuru, Kisumu and Mombasa. Residents have given him a hostile reception due to his tone and mouth and nothing else. Even to a neutral observer, the political undertones in Miguna’s statements cannot go unnoticed. No public office in Kenya is devoid of the vices he claims were rampant at the PM’s office. A whistleblower must remain objective, neutral and factual. Each claim made must be backed by hard facts just like Githongo’s audio records that exposed the Anglo leasing scam. To quote a friend of mine "there is NO correlation between the beating Miguna receives & how RAO would run a country, are you saying that Miguna didn't insult a whole lot of other people? Should RAO send a postcard to every citizen in Kisumu, Nakuru & Mombasa telling them to leave Miguna alone? Are we saying that it's RAO's sole responsibility?"
Each time we turn on the TV, Miguna is insulting someone other than Raila, perpetuating to have monopoly over intelligence and everybody in Kenya and, we should listen to him and his words like those of the Mesiah. Sadly, Miguna’s mission is unclear, Whether it is desire for publicity, good governance, cash or vengeance, Miguna is going about it in a manner that is unwise. He is clearly a man imprisoned by an inflated ego, a loose canon feared by even the most ardent haters of Raila Odinga.
