Sawa, we stay tuned. The MM saga is a pointer story, that can be used to shine light in the dark cave of power. That is why it gets so much attention. Keep us fed! |

STATEMENT TO THE COUNTRY ON MY REINSTATEMENT
Issued by Miguna Miguna,
This 31st day of December, at the City of Nairobi, Kenya
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Fellow Kenyans,
When I get involved in negotiations and conclude a deal – any deal – legal, personal, political or professional – I make sure that there are simple, clear and mutually understood ground rules, guidelines and principles, and that all parties involved, must undertake and solemnly promise, in good faith, before the commencement of such negotiations and after their completion, to be bound by all the terms and conditions of the final agreement, and to honour, respect and fully and honestly discharge all their undertakings, as prescribed in the agreement.
On Wednesday, December 28th, 2011, I promised the country that following the decision by the Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, EGH, MP, Prime of the Republic of Kenya, to unconditionally rescind my suspension he had announced on 4 August 2011, and to order, with immediate effect, my reinstatement, as his Advisor on Coalition Affairs and Joint Secretary to the Permanent Committee on the Management of Grand Coalition Affairs, I would take my time, to analyse, digest and fully understand that decision before I could comment further.
I am not prone to intemperate, precipitous or exuberant decisions and declarations. Before making any decision – big, small, personal, legal, political or professional – I always spend a considerable amount of time to consult, analyze and carefully reflect on all aspects of the decision, issues, circumstances and implications. I cross all the Ts and dot all the Is.
And once I have made my decisions, I stick with them, come rain or high water. That’s because I am a strong believer and practitioner of the principles of honour, integrity, the rule of law and constitutionalism.
On Tuesday, December 27, 2011, from about 12:15 p.m. to 3:15 p.m. – a whole three hours – the Prime Minister and I met, in the presence of a mutual friend, at the Serena Hotel, in the City of Nairobi. It was the Prime Minister who called me, personally, and requested for the meeting.
We had a courteous, respectful, dignified, cordial and professional meeting, which when it concluded, we – the two of us, alone - unanimously agreed, in good faith, that the Prime Minister would make the following announcement, that day, personally or through his office, before he traveled to India.
The agreement was in writing, and was witnessed by the mutual friend. It was to be unconditional and to be implemented immediately without any delay whatsoever. Both the Press Statement and letter of reinstatement were to contain the following terms:
1. That the suspension of Mr. Miguna Miguna, the Prime Minister’s Advisor on Coalition Affairs, be rescinded, unconditionally, with immediate effect, since it was determined that all the allegations against him were unfounded;
2. That Mr. Miguna is hereby ordered reinstated, forthwith;
3. That all arrears, emoluments and accrued interests owed to Mr. Miguna, be paid to him, forthwith; and
4. Upon resumption of duty, Mr. Miguna would be reporting DIRECTLY to the Prime Minister.
We agreed that I would approve - as to form, nature and content - all statements and/or letters that would be issued with respect to this matter.
There were no other terms or conditions the Prime Minister and I agreed on, apart from the four items above.
Following the issuance, by the Prime Minister, of a Press Statement, that day, containing all the terms of the agreement, the Prime Minister was to immediately ensure that a letter containing the four terms agreed on, would be delivered to me, forthwith, and all the terms therein, honoured fully, without any delay whatsoever.
Unfortunately, the statement that was released by one Caroli Omondi, on behalf of the Prime Minister, on December 28th, 2011 – twenty-four hours after our agreement – did not, accurately, reflect and adhere to the terms of our agreement.
But even more egregiously, when I received a letter from the Office of the Prime Minister, signed by a junior officer on behalf of the Permanent Secretary, at 5:30 p.m. on 28 December 2011, but which was dated 27 December 2011, the form, content and tone was totally at variance with the agreement the Prime Minister and I had entered into, in good faith. The letter was also inconsistent and contradicted the Press Statement released by Mr. Omondi.
At about 5:30 p.m. on 28 December 2011, I formally communicated to Mr. Omondi and the Prime Minister, in writing, electronically – twice - and indicated that both the Press Statement and the so-called letter of reinstatement, failed to communicate the terms of our agreement, as the Prime Minister had undertaken to do. I requested that the so-called reinstatement letter dated 27 December 2011 be withdrawn, formally, and a fresh one containing all the terms the Prime Minister and I had agreed on, in good faith, be issued, on or before 30 December 2011.
Unfortunately, as of the time of this Press Conference, my letters, and subsequent short text messages to both Mr. Omondi and to the Prime Minister, have not been responded to, though they were clearly received, as Mr. Omondi had confirmed receipt to the mutual friend of the Prime Minister and I.
In view of the foregoing, and conscious of my responsibilities as a Kenyan who believes in honour, good faith, the rule of law and principles of good governance and constitutionalism, I hereby announce that by a letter dated today’s date and delivered to the Prime Minister already, I have declined to accept the decision to reinstate me, on terms and conditions contained in the letter by one Abdul Mwasera, dated 27 December 2011. A copy of my letter to the Prime Minister and that of Mr. Mwasera, are attached, herewith.
We must develop and entrench both a culture and practice of honouring our words, respecting deals we make, and adhering to the principles of good governance, rule of law and constitutionalism.
I will not take questions.
I thank you.
MIGUNA MIGUNA

Letter to the Prime Minister:
MIGUNA MIGUNA, BA, LLB, LLM
Barrister . Solicitor . Advocate . ADR Consultant
P.O. Box 1522-00621
NAIROBI, KENYA
31 December 2011
The Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, EGH, MP
Prime Minister of the Republic of Kenya
Prime Minister’s Building
P.O. Box 74434-00200
NAIROBI “WITHOUT PREJUDICE”
Dear Sir,
RE: REINSTATEMENT
Further to our three-hour meeting at the Serena Hotel, in Nairobi, on Tuesday, December 27th, 2011, regarding the subject of reference, at the conclusion of which you and I arrived at a mutual, unanimous and good faith agreement that you would issue both a statement and letter containing four items, viz :
1. That the suspension of Mr. Miguna Miguna, the Prime Minister’s Advisor on Coalition Affairs, be rescinded, unconditionally, with immediate effect, since it was determined that all the allegations against him were unfounded;
2. That Mr. Miguna is hereby ordered reinstated, forthwith;
3. That all arrears, emoluments and accrued interests owed to Mr. Miguna, be paid to him, forthwith; and
4. Upon resumption of duty, Mr. Miguna would be reporting DIRECTLY to the Prime Minister.
Sir, as you recall, we agreed that because you were departing for a ten-day trip to India, you would give instructions for both the letter and a Press Release containing four items agreed on, above, to be issued the same day. In fact, we prepared an agreed draft statement, a copy of which you were to provide to your staff so as to ensure that the subsequent statement and letter would accurately reflect, in letter and spirit, the said good faith agreement, which was duly witnessed by our mutual friend.
Mr. Omondi subsequently issued a Press Statement the following day, Wednesday December 28th, 2011, in which he only partially captured the terms of the agreement, and curiously, inserted a condition pertaining to the withdrawal of pending court cases, which was never a subject of our discussion, was not agreement on, and was not to be included in any statement.
At about 5:30 p.m. on December 28th, 2011, I received a letter dated December 27th, 2011, signed by Abdul Mwasera, for “Permanent Secretary.” Regrettably, the letter did not contain any of the four items we had agreed on. Not only was Mwasera’s letter totally at variance with the terms of our agreement; it also dramatically contradicted, and was inconsistent with, Caroli’s statement to the press.
In point of fact, the letter negated each and every item of our agreement. After careful review and analysis of both Caroli’s statement to the press and Mr. Mwasera’s letter, I have concluded that the letter, though titled “reinstatement,” is actually not a reinstatement letter, but a “warning” and a “disciplinary” letter.
Besides, Mr. Mwasera’s letter makes reference to alleged findings of “investigations,” yet no report pertaining to any investigations was enclosed therein. In addition, Mr. Mwasera’s letter asserts: “Please note that before resumption of duty, you are required to withdraw any pending court case(s) as regards the matter.”
Sir, the Constitution gives everyone, including state and public officers – even judges – inherent rights to seek judicial intervention in the event of a dispute, whether such dispute is with respect to labour, employment, contractual, or any other legal issues between parties. If such cases were to be resolved, negotiations would occur within the context of the principles of law, and counsel representing parties would be involved. That was not the case concerning our informal meeting on December 27th.
Further, the letter states that upon my reinstatement, I would be required to “sign Local Agreement form G.P. 106 (Revised) before resumption of duty.” Again, Sir, this was not discussed or agreed on. I have been working for the Government of Kenya since March 6, 2009 without having signed the “local agreement”, due to reasons well known to you. As well, there is a matter pending before the Industrial Court, regarding this issue. Once more, there are well established mechanisms of settling ongoing cases, which would have to be adhered to. I am not prepared to, and will not, waive my legal and constitutional rights regarding this, or any other matters. In any event, we never discussed the issue of signing any “local agreement” forms, and no such issue was to form part of the reinstatement exercise.
Upon receipt of Mr. Mwasera’s letter, I sent an email to Caroli Omondi, pointing out the above noted infractions and indicated that I needed Mr. Mwasera’s letter formally withdrawn and replaced with a fresh one containing all the itemized terms we had agreed on, by latest December 30th, 2011. Mr. Omondi also received a short text message concerning the matter. I subsequently sent you a short text message, and copied it to Mr. Omondi, on the same. To date, I have not had the courtesy of any response, either to my letter or to the short text messages.
Evidently, Mr. Mwasera’s letter does not conform – in tone, form or content – with both the spirit and letter of the mutual agreement you and I entered into on Tuesday, December 27th, 2011. Indeed, it is a deliberate and clear misrepresentation of our good faith agreement, which was evidenced in writing, and witnessed by the mutual friend. We had agreed, further, that in your absence, I was to only deal with Caroli on this matter.
As we both acknowledged during our Tuesday meeting, no investigations have been conducted over the unfounded allegations against me. I have not been advised of any investigations, nor was an independent investigator or investigators appointed to deal with the matter; neither have I been invited to present my full and complete answer to the allegations, as required by law and the principle of natural justice. As well, we both acknowledged that there has been no process – credible or not credible - established to determine the validity of the allegations, and I have never been invited to attend before any such process, as required by law.
Sir, I take great exception to the casual, inappropriate and unprofessional manner your office has handled this important matter. As I indicated to you during our meeting, I believe that the continued refusal to release my personal effects to me and to pay the emoluments that I am at law entitled to, constitutes malice aforethought. May I have all my personal effects, arrears and emoluments delivered to me immediately?
Accordingly, I regret to inform you that, in view of the serious and arbitrary departures from the terms of our good faith agreement, I cannot accept the terms of reinstatement as contained in Mr. Mwasera’s letter.
Yours very truly,
MIGUNA MIGUNA

That is the right thing for Miguna to do. Let Carol omondi continue to advice Raila. The who OPM office should be overhauled before it is too late.what value does Isakhia and Carol add to Raila. I think Raila needs to bring Mr Dawa Salimo Lone as chief of staff.
History will vindicate Miguna on this one

Mzee I beg to differ. MM is being played like a nyatiti. It doesn't look like the Serena meeting was held in good faith. The goal was simply to beat judge Warsame's deadline for reinstatement. The fact that Caroli Omondi wasn't at the meeting gives Raila plausible deniability for any "misunderstanding" that took place in the letter that was subsequently given to MM whilst he is conveniently out of the country. They could keep dragging this on forever as Raila will just go "mteja" on MM once he returns. He should've smelled a rat the minute a politician agreed to all his demands without raising any significant ones of his own.

You are right Miguna was played and now he has no case but at least on principle he has his dignity back. @njamba, I agree with you with a caveat and that is, MM's integrity as a man of principle is still being tested and a lot about maintaining it lies ahead. As I noted in my blog What Lies Ahead for Miguna; Not Exactly Enviable Either Way, omwenga.com/2011/12/29/what-lies-ahead-for-miguna-not-exactly-enviable-either-way/ MM is in a bind; either decision he makes on his reinstatement is not good. Having declined the reinstatement, my reading is he is now saying get brace yourselves with the mud coming your way on Raila. I counseled him from day one of his suspension to not go down that road but he did. I now counsel him to not go further down that road but that remains to be seen. The truth is, among those who hate Raila, he can successfully peddle whatever he chooses to peddle but, among Raila supporters and those who are genuinely objective, they will not buy any of it and he would only further damage his own brand. As I concluded in my blog above, " one may make the case it would be more prudent for Miguna not return to the PM’s office and make money attacking Raila and even from his yet to be published book, but that would be unprincipled for Miguna who has otherwise been known to be, all other criticisms and accusations aside, a very principled man. Miguna opting to make money at the expense of Raila would be akin to a pastor leaving the Church to peddle pornography" Let’s hope not. |

In a game of Chess, this is called CHECKMATE, I agree the PM office, just wanted to beat the deadline, but I do think MM still has a case in industrial court, he was not told why he was suspended, what were the findings.
I'm not a lawyer but pay attention to MM words closely I hereby announce that by a letter dated today’s date and delivered to the Prime Minister already, I have declined to accept the decision to reinstate me, on terms and conditions contained in the letter by one Abdul Mwasera, dated 27 December 2011.
He is declining an offer on that letter dated 27th, so if the conditions were met, he would have accepted the offer.
MM you are DAMN good lawyer.

With all due respect, you, b6k, do not have access to all the available facts. In the first place, it was the Prime Minister who initiated the meeting. Miguna's statement attests that there was a huge element of good faith on both sides in the meeting. More than that, it wasn't just the Prime Minister meeting alone with Miguna. There was a mutual friend who was also present. Without betraying confidences I can say without any fear of contradiction that this person was not a room attendant but a very well respected and well-known member of the community. The parties reduced their agreement to writing which all parties approved before they wrapped up their meeting. But this "mutual friend" was not dragged to the meeting by Miguna- it is the Prime Minister who invited this individual to attend the face to face encounter.The Prime Minister was NOT intending to set up a plausible denial-ability scenario; otherwise why on earth would he bring an individual with that particular profile to such a meeting. I will soon share my thoughts on this... Onyango Oloo

NairobiBrother OO, Missing in all of this analysis, speculation and conjecture everyone is offering is one little detail and that is, MM neither had a right nor was he in a position to negotiate for his reinstatement; could it be a decision consistent with the suspension, complete with his own input, had been reached and the PM merely wished to convey that in person to MM unlike the suspension he was blamed for not doing and MM agreed in good faith on the terms but has had a chance of heart since then, especially following what even many Jukwaiists have been saying on whether he should return or not? I was not at the meeting but I could analyze MM's statements and point out a number of things that analytically betray what he is projecting but I don't think that's necessary. I am curious to read your thoughts you indicate are on the way. |

"Sir, I take great exception to the casual, inappropriate and unprofessional manner your office has handled this important matter."Maybe MM is not as important as he thinks. What difference does it make if the letter was signed by a junior officer? Would it have been better if the co-principal himself signed the letter since Raila was out of the country? Why call a press conference if people cannot ask questions? He could have just submitted the letter to the PM's office or the press whichever one makes news faster. I also dont think its unreasonable to ask MM to withdraw all pending court charges if he was to get his job back. How can you sue the same people you are working for or "advising?"Anyway, I think it is in the best interest of all parties involved that MM pursue's other interests far away from the OPM's office. The damage has already been done and in my view, irreparable. www.nation.co.ke/News/politics/Miguna+declines+job+recall/-/1064/1297968/-/xg6v1m/-/index.html

Quick question to the board members.
Why would Miguna the "agent of change" want to go back working for and "report directly" to a man he has discovered is a conman and not an agent of change?

This really is going to lose Raila the elite vote in diaspora he is proofing to lack the mantle to tackle issues and keep his word on simple things Bure kabisa |

Thanks to his prior antics, there was really no other plausible decision Miguna could have taken.

This Miguna thing has become comical as far as i am concerned. Now that he has declined the job why are we even discussing this and waiting for updates? Are we doing this for the entertainment value or does Miguna still hope he can galvanize some sympathy which he helped chase away by his past public spats?
Is there a point in posting Migunas actual correspondence with the OPM office on this board over this issue? The whole thing is just sickening, that an intelligent person would call a press conference to tell the world that he has declined a job instead of using other channels to convey the same. Self importance can be very dangerous at times!
