Self styled general Miguna Miguna who came back to the country on 20th October has faulted President Ruto’s insistence on appointing Chief Administrative Secretaries (CAS) terming those positions illegal and would not take up one if appointed.
In an interview with NTV on Friday night, Miguna Miguna was asked if he would take up a post in the Kenya Kwanza administration. To this he replied that he is available for service only if he will be given a posting that is in the constitution.
“It depends on which government appointment. There are so many things I would not take. I would not take the illegal CAS position,” Dr Miguna said.
The creation of the CAS positions were quashed by the Employment and Labour Relations Court last week. However, the Kenya Kwanza government is insisting that the positions are necessary for them to implement the bottom-up development model that is premised on lifting those at the base of the pyramid to productivity.
The unapologetic lawyer who jetted into the country after almost five years in exile was grateful to President Ruto’s administration for lifting the red alerts that had been placed against him in the last regime.
Dr Miguna is however not indebted to Kenya Kwanza administration as he now says that it was just their duty that they abide by the law. This is despite him showing a great affinity to the Kenya Kwanza government having been their biggest supporter from the diaspora and a very fierce critic of the Former President Uhuru Kenyatta and Former Premier Raila Odinga.
“It was the new administration’s duty to uphold the rule of law. I did not ask them to lift the red alert. They did not buy my air ticket as they should have. The red alert was not lifted immediately but my passport was replaced almost immediately. The only thing they asked me to do is send my picture. Two minutes later they printed my passport. I don’t feel beholden to anyone for this,” Mr Miguna said.
