Self-declared National Revolutionary Movement (NRM) General Dr. Miguna Miguna has for the first time supported President Uhuru Kenyatta in a rare message.
Miguna said that he agreed with the presidents sentiments on the late Ken Matiba and that he was among the elite group of Kenyans who used their public office positions to gain wealth.
He added that Matiba was also among those detained without trial and tortured by the president’s mentor retired President Moi, the same way he was detained and tortured.
“For the first time, Mr. Despot Uhuru Kenyatta you are right: Matiba was among a few Kenyan elite who exploited their public positions to become billionaires. And yes, he was detained without trial, tortured and maimed by your TUTOR, MOI, the same way you have detained and tortured me.” He said.
Miguna sent his message of support after President Uhuru in his speech at the late Ken Matiba’s memorial at the All Saints Cathedral, said that Matiba symbolized what Kenya was supposed to be and he was willing to sacrifice everything he had for the sake of the country.
“Ken Matiba epitomized what Kenya is supposed to be. He was committed to hard work and was willing to sacrifice all his property and wealth for the sake of the country. Kenya will miss him but we will never forget him. #RIPMatiba,” said President Uhuru Kenyatta.
