The High Court on Friday evening ordered for immediate release of former Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant Miguna Miguna, who was dramatically arrested at his home in Runda, Nairobi.
Issuing the orders, High court Judge James Wakiaga said the self-declared National Super Alliance’s National Resistance Movement (NRM) ‘general’ be freed on a Sh50,000 cash bail.
Justice Wakiaga issued the orders after Miguna’s lawyer Nelson Havi moved to court under a certificate of urgency seeking orders to have him released by police on bail.
Havi argued that police are abusing powers to arrest and that they are using the powers to oppress his client.
Police raided and ransacked the lawyer’s residence in Runda estate, Nairobi on Friday morning, a day after he dared Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i to arrest him.
Commenting about Miguna’s arrest on Friday, Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) George Kinoti said: “He (Miguna) publicly declared that he is the general of NRM, which is already declared a proscribed group. By the time he declared publicly, there was a gazette notice by the minister. How can we let it go? We are law enforcers.”
“He also said he is going to lead people to burn portraits of a democratically elected president. Then what do you expect from us? He also confessed he is the one who administered the oath.”

Democracy dies in darkness …
Democracy dies in darkness (Washington Post). Democracy dies in silence. Democracy drowns in injustice. Democracy is sacrificed at the altars of Western interest and convenience – increasingly now more than ever.
Kenyans have had to fight for everything good that they have. The Westerners always followed the political currents. Whenever they supported the Kenyan people, they always came late. It is now that we get to know who our true friends are. Don’t plead the law, for this government has largely governed outside the law. Don’t plead the law with me, for the Nazis’ atrocities were perfectly within the German law as enacted. Don’t plead the law with me, for the law ought to reflect the will of the Kenyan people. Don’t plead international law with me, for the two individuals at the helm of the Kenyan government used the instruments of power to avert international criminal justice. And the world watched and resigned itself to – what can we do? Don’t ever mention treason around me, for it is an illegality and illegitimacy that claims the protection of the law….end quote.

And as we all know, these layabouts don’t engange in any economically useful activity these days, the Omukimo Omutantas and others. I miss the days when Kibaki used to call them mafi ya kuku.
