The more I read this book, the more I see that Miguna did not know what his job was. He was corrupt and immoral, using his position to afford access to the prime minister.
The prime ministers job must never be to resolve individual problems or issues - that was Moism. Miguna is the worst Moist. The prime minister is supposed to oversee policy and coordinate function of government.
Instead of using individual cases to tackle systemic issues, Miguna started parading case after case at the PM's office. Is this what "advisor on coalition affair means"?
And his hankering for appointment as AG or in constitutional offices shows his insatiable greed. Yet he never bothered to apply for any public position. He has never competitively got a job anywhere.
What an absolute cretin!

Ah Sarah, I need to give you a tutorial on how elective offices work in Nyanza. That statement of yours is formally true. Yet it is bullshit. You know like, formally, Mubarak won all his elections past 95% tally. Never has Egypt had such a popular leader, formally verifiable. However ... You start falsfifying the history of Nyanza, Sarah, beware there is still a constituency in Nyanza with a cold-blooded dedication to a correct assessment of Luo political practice. Not all of us are in this for propaganda. Do not ho my history for the sake of political fights in a run-down banana republic. Fak off! |

RR,
What I find very funny is that Miguna thought that Raila would be running around solving issues that are clearly court cases. For example, Miguna talks about one Justice Luta whose 2800 hectares of land was taken away by the Moi regime. He says that the man had sought legal means and failed to get back his land. Then he appears with Justice Luta before Raila and asks Raila to get the man back his land. How on earth was Raila supposed to do that? Grab land from the grabbers without due process and hand it over to Justice Luta? Miguna goes on to say that the man needed compensation for only one of his farms and he wanted Raila to do just that, compensate the man. Is it Railas job to run around the whole place compensating people? What are the courts for? How about the ministries? Ati he wanted Raila to summon "Uhuru, Orengo, Kinyua, Isahakia and PS Lands Dorothy Angote to a meeting at the end of which he could give specific directions on what was to be done". That is, give the man back his land or compensate him. All this because Miguna had said so and Miguna is not the court of law. Miguna was acting judge and jury at the same time and his word was supposed to be law. What ego. Give me a break. I don’t know how Raila tolerated Miguna for so long.

www.standardmedia.co.ke/?articleID=2000062174&pageNo=1‘Come, baby Come’ turns to ‘Run, baby Run’
By Okech Kendo Clueless’ is a word Miguna Miguna uses often in Peeling Back the Mask. Everyone he worked with in ODM and the Coalition Government was ‘clueless’. Nyando MP Fred Outa who defeated him in the 2007 ODM parliamentary nomination is ‘clueless’. Voters who rejected him are ‘clueless’. During the night George Saitoti’s brother was being accused of helping the late minister to manipulate the tally, Miguna called me at 1am. He was shouting that we journalists were ‘clueless’. Miguna could not understand how a senior editor could be sleeping when votes were being ‘stolen’ in Kajiado North. The man was then trying to endear himself to Raila Odinga. He did not want Moses ole Sakuda’s votes to be ‘stolen’ the way PNU had ‘stolen’ Raila’s victory. That was the second time I was speaking to him. I met Miguna in October 2007, with Akong’o Oyugi, a former political detainee. Now he insinuates Prof Oyugi had lost the ‘fire’, and is probably ‘clueless’. The person who knows Miguna as a student in 1987 is Wafula Buke, chairman at the Students’ Organisation of Nairobi University, when Miguna was finance secretary. Buke fled the country, returned home, and then went to jail, but remained an active reformer. Miguna fled at the first burst of teargas canisters to a safe haven.
Miguna landed in Toronto, Canada, where he stayed in economic exile for 20 years. Miguna knows Buke knows the tall man betrayed his comrades.While Miguna enjoyed summer Sunday-outs in Ontario, Buke and other victims of comrade power were in Kenya ‘living’ the revolution.
When Miguna returned in September 2007, he believed a Raila presidency was assured. The lawyer from Osgoode Law School of the York University was burning with ambition to be the Attorney General under ‘President’ Raila Amolo Odinga. If Miguna lost the way to AG Chambers, he would settle for solicitor-general. He often clashed with former AG Amos Wako, who he held was ‘clueless’. The AG had clung to the office Miguna desired. It was not that Miguna was living the revolution because he loved Raila; he was seeing his fancy jobs – AG or solicitor-general – slipping away. When he lost bid for PS and even advisor, he was devastated, and felt betrayed. He blames Raila for it.Miguna suggests a leader like Raila, who is a flexible “coward”, needed men of brawl like Miguna to understand symbols of power: Like sitting plan, red carpets, and protocol. Miguna says he often ‘gave’ Raila a chance to take the bull by the horns, but the PM would soften. For that he describes Raila as a ‘flip-flopper’ who does not understand power concedes nothing – it is seized when the opportunity strikes. Miguna recalls 2008 post-election violence, when the country was burning. Blood of innocent citizens was flowing. Darkness had fallen on a country once described as an island of peace in a turbulent ocean. Then, he accuses Raila of failing to stick to the script. The script was Raila should have stuck to a re-run of presidential race or declared himself president. While Miguna credits the late John Michuki with causing a blackout to stop ODM from swearing-in ‘President’ Raila, he blames the PM for negotiating peace. Rather than see the bigger picture of Raila’s concessions, Miguna claims Raila was ‘clueless’ about power dynamics. Yet Miguna does not see himself as the one who was ‘clueless’ about what would have happened had Raila rejected the Coalition Government on February 28, 2008, two months into the mayhem. Perhaps Miguna was too preoccupied with his own ambition to succeed Wako.
He did not understand the country was more important.Miguna claims he was a witness to PNU functionaries rigging votes at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre on December 28 and 29, 2008. On the first night, Miguna claims he found MPs-elect Henry Kosgey, Charity Ngilu, and James Orengo at the Media Centre. They were relaxing in a way that showed they were ‘clueless’. They were watching TV during the night of the long knives. The night before Miguna had forgone sleep because men like him who had ‘clues’ could not sleep during a ‘revolution’. Peeling Back the Mask exposes the author as a ‘clueless’ ideologue, without a sense of context. The PM and President Kibaki take credit for tolerating the braggart for 30 months as ‘collision’ advisor. The question readers should ask is, if Miguna had gotten what he expected when he joined the Raila Campaign, or stayed on as advisor, would he have erupted?Miguna did not become AG, Solicitor-General or PS. He was not among the first lot around Raila. ‘Ja-Nyando’ remained marooned in Pentagon House for months, as Mohamed Isahakia, Caroli Omondi, Idriss Mohammed, and Tony Gachoka boarded the first train to the Prime Minister’s office. He detested this. His bitterness with Omondi and Isahakia is palpable. True, these two have been cited in some indiscretions, but one would expect Miguna to give prosecutable evidence so a court of law would prove their guilt or otherwise.Miguna’s warcry, “Come, baby come”, is now run, baby run, when he fled on Monday. Which was the right decision because somebody could easily take the man out and then blame Raila for it. He says he didn’t flee, and merely went to promote his book in Canada. But he left with his school-going children. He is probably ‘clueless’ this is the middle of a school term. The writer is The Standard’s Managing Editor Quality and Production. kendo@standardmedia.co.ke

Full disclosure. I ordered the book immediately it was released. Picked my hard copy from the Airport yesterday. I was upset at the copyright infringement (online piracy) not just for Miguna - but also myself and others who actually bought the book. It's a big insult to readers, writers and publishers in general. I have no regrets for possessing a hard copy of the book though. The culture of ukora has pervaded Kenya so much there's almost a short-cut or counterfeit to anything. You will almost be made to look stupid or silly for doing the right thing. In the interest of accountability - I promised to offer a review. It will take a little time. I roared through the book into the twilight hours...and carried it to work today. I'm yet to start Book 4 - Chapter 7. I'll definitely bury myself in it over the weekend and hopefully issue a comprehensive review by next week. Not to preempt that, I can't resist a few preliminary comments. This is Miguna’s first book I’m reading. So far, he strikes as an exemplary writer – better than I actually thought. Forget those newspaper articles - his book narrative is quite captivating; with consummate prose and style. Despite being a memoir, where I expected a lot of the pronoun “I”, Miguna stretches the “I did” thing, liberally into the national stage. An example of a conspicuous exaggeration (at the big stage) is: Yes, I had been a student leader in Kenya and even made headline news when we were abducted, detained incommunicado and tortured for 14 days. During that dreadful fortnight – and after – we, the student leaders, became national figures and made history. Did Miguna really become a ‘history-making’ national figure by 1987? Was Miguna a household name at the national stage prior to his stint at the Prime Minister’s office? From this lot, probably Wafula Buke - I doubt Miguna. Didn't we also have student activism even in the early 70s with wakina Orengo and others - or Miguna's group were the history-making trailblazers? Even wakina Adongo, Oloo, Mwandawiro et al, were ahead - I know this. I'm afraid I might encounter too many of such "I" "me" "we" "myself" exaggerations. Otherwise the start is really enchanting. Miguna's early upbringing (without even seeing his father; with a poor mother; around grinding poverty and abusive relatives) was painfully tough. This likely had profound effect on his psycho-social development. I can already trace Miguna's later rebellious streak - largely inspired from this background. Again - persistent taunts from kids (regarding a Panga-cut scar on his forehead) was probably the precursor to the permanent presence of a cap over Big Mig's forehead. Chronic child-abuse has its own cruel way of shaping one's future psychological state, self-esteem, and personality. Later - Adios! |

Wafula Buke > FACEBOOK Hi good people. A man has been offended in a very obscene manner by Miguna: Miguna writes that Nduma Nderi (the chair of SONU before me), used to urinate in his trousers during campaign rallies due to stage fright (page 55 peeling the mask). That is not true. I can imagine what that means to his children. He also writes that "physically", i "looked lazy and unkempt" somebody help me. how does one physically look lazy?

That is not true. I can imagine what that means to his children. He also writes that "physically", i "looked lazy and unkempt" somebody help me. how does one physically look lazy? I predicted the many folks colourfully described by Miguna will come out one by one - in protest. Buke's characterization as a unkempt, lazy (& old-for-campus) was noted. Wacha tu! Nderi's shaking-like-a-leaf...peeing-in-the-trouser debut at the podium ( comrade Kamkunji) was brutal. Miguna explicitly describes urine flowing from under Nderi's trousers. Gud lawd! This better be true, otherwise that'd be atrocious violation of Nderi's human rights. Has Prof. Ngugi wa Thiong'o also read Miguna's characterization of him...(insinuation = greedy, money-minded)? But on the day Ngugi was leaving, the people who were taking collections at the entrance disappeared with the money. Even others who were selling refreshments couldn’t be traced. The sales Gerald and I made at Caribana amounted to less than $100. Yet we had promised Ngugi $2,500 honorarium.
..
I explained the situation to Ngugi and we agreed that I would try to trace our people and hopefully send him the funds within days of his return…
A few days later when his publicist contacted me to ask for the money, I hadn’t received a dime from the people who were supposed to give me the gate collections. I telephoned Ngugi and disclosed my predicament. Regrettably, Ngugi wanted his money; he didn’t care that I was a refugee struggling to pay my own way through law school. Eventually, I depleted my meagre savings and sent Ngugi his honorarium. That was another valuable lesson learnt: people espousing revolutionary rhetoric won’t necessarily practice what they preach.
What about Miguna's linen-airing of his own brother's laundry? What about fallutin' his (queer) satisfaction following the death of his abusive uncle:
Aoyi died in May 2011 and I attended the funeral. Death is the final equaliser.
I'll hold my thoughts for now! |

Why Miguna’s Book Is Just A Passing Cloud
Friday, 20 July 2012 15:12
BY WAFULA BUKE When I was reading excerpts of Miguna Miguna’s alleged humiliation of Raila Odinga by President Mwai Kibaki behind curtains, I read on fast believing that an incident I have heard of would also be included. It is alleged that a youthful ODM MP held Raila by the collar and tie in Serena Hotel as he repeatedly told him not to accept a ceasefire during the negotiations for a peaceful settlement. Raila is reported to have calmly looked on without shaking off the antagonistic grip of this belligerent ODM MP. Who indeed, was the hero of the power sharing negotiations? Was it those who got the bigger chunk of the loaf or those who ceded ground to stop post-election violence? Is it not intransigence and selfishness that created the Somalia we have today?Miguna says, in apparent comparison to himself, that Raila wept in the heat of our national catastrophe. I would rather we have a Raila who weeps with those who suffer pain and cedes ground to satisfy those greedy for power than a snobbish traitor who is not only callous to the suffering of the people but is also inconsiderate in the pursuit of self-interest. Miguna who had never worked with Raila during the worst times, having been in exile, was justified to be taken aback by the emotional breakdown of Raila in 2008. Erroneously he considered Raila to be tough, selfish and apparently even callous. Miguna would have applied his literary prowess in capturing Raila in a similar emotional state during a visit to the home of the late student leader, Titus Adungosi in 1997. When Adungosi’s mother spotted Raila who was accompanied by former detainee Ken Matiba, she approached him and knelt down asking: “I have been told you were with my son in prison. Tell me, who killed my son?” Raila went blank. He had no handkerchief and used his bare hands to wipe his tears as he joined his former comrade's mother in mourning his death. Raila shed more tears when he stood at the unmarked bushy grave where Adungosi was buried. On the return journey to Kisumu, John Kiema who rode with him in the same car says Raila was silent throughout the journey. On Wednesday 11th July 2012, I visited Raila's office and found Mark Mwithaga, the vice chair of the parliamentary select committee on the JM Kariuki murder, JM's widow Doris Nyambura Kariuki, Dedan Kimathi's daughter and grandson, Gitu Kahengeri (the Mau Mau war veterans spokesman) waiting to brief the PM on the ongoing Mau mau case in London. There were also councillors from Nyandarua who had come to request that a hospital in Ol Kalau be named after a Mau Mau war hero. Raila has also employed JM Kariuki’s daughter in his office. Who other than a person filled with sympathy can have time for this marginalized constituency? Dedan Kimathi's daughter summed it up when she told me: “You know what? Raila is the last born of our caring fathers.” The statement, "I value solid popularity—the esteem of good men for good action. I despise the bubble popularity that is won without merit and lost without crime," by US senator, Thomas Hart Benton is apt in reference to the Miguna book.Its popularity and that of the author will quickly die and be forgotten within a short time unlike the achievements by historical personalities which do not lie in the hype of the moment but it’s a sum of activities, decisions, policies and positions taken over time. When a nation is in crisis, those who make sacrifices to save it pass the test of greatness and their actions are associated with selflessness, courage and heroism. John F. Kennedy put it succinctly in “Profiles in Courage” which is an analytical presentation of figures in American history who opted to eat humble pie (read half a loaf) but were vindicated by history. “Great crises produce great men and great acts of courage.” The writer is the chair of The National Victims and Survivors Networkthe-star.co.ke/opinions/others/85977-why-migunas-book-is-just-a-passing-cloud |

Chronic child-abuse has its own cruel way of shaping one's future psychological state, self-esteem, and personality. Later - Adios!I have thought about lack of a father figure in Miguna's life as he was growing up as a boy- a sailboat without a captain in the rough seas- certainly deprived him certain values in life including thinking before firing up a warning shot. ;D Essentially Miguna grew up a chokora without someone to instill in him values- tossed from family to family to survive poverty. No one to monitor and followup on his behavior as a child- when disciplined he would run to his mother to suckle. This may explain his lack of loyalty to family and friends, whom he has toilet mouthed ;D left right and center. In his fight with RAO, he has thrown many friendships under the bus. Many have been made collateral damage with exaggerations and innuendos- very entertaining but devastating to the friendships- he did not care to the saying there is always a time and a place. This should have made for a good obituary for MM- where you know you are gone forever from this world and you don't care what family and friends will say. He should have afforded the many friends and families some privacy- as Jaxxxxxxa will attest - life is like a piece of clothe. Yes, even when you are for the interest of the truth and justice. You dont expose all your "truthps" and spies when you disagree- because the enemy will have an upper hand. I woke up on Wed morning and found more than 10 emails with the pdf version lying in my in-box icluding Jukwaa. I did what Miguna and any other Kenyan in his normal mind would have done- no regrets. Here is why. Miguna is purpoting to claim copy rights to information he obtained by virtue of him being a civil servant. He wants to sell this information and enrich himself and no one sees anything wrong with that? Some of the information is classified government information which he had access to courtesy of his position as Advisor to PM. Is the government getting any royalties from this book? Talk of corruption. Senti 5 It is curious the way Miguna mentions and treats his wife, Jane, in his book- As a literature student it made me wonder what his marital status/history -is he seperated or divorced?- not that it matters but just curious - something aint right from the dedication, ackowledgements and the vote of thanks- or he just decided to give her the privacy he ably denies his friends and extended family? |

So what is your point? Quietly read the free e-book and not accept that you have the PDF Version? Miguna would have to sue thousands of Kenyans who have already accessed the book. Am sure you could be having a copy too, kweli? Rongo? Lol |

This reminds me of Somali when it was on the eve of becoming a lawless Land. They used to tell us Kenyans that only a stupid man works for his money because a clever one steals it. That was in the 80's. See where Somali is today. Shouldn't Miguna be sued by the Government of Kenya for using information in his book which was confidential Read" His position as a civil service allowed him to some privy government information that was not for public knowledge as rumor has it.. I guess Kenyans citizens then can put forward a case of the information used in the book did not belong to Miguna it was government property, The government is employed by the Citizens of Kenya ama.. Who is suing who ?? But I guess it won't happen rumors on the ground in Kenya are some of he information in Miguna's book was added by some masters of impunity just before it was taken to the printers.... hey rumors are same Miguna was paid $$$$ just for adding the exra material in his book.. rumors are rumors .. Kenya is afloat with rumors left, right and centre ivyo tu. |
