I was not born yesterday. The best way to create enemies is to outcompete your friends. Now that Miguna Miguna has outcompeted his friends and enemies, they have chosen to blacklist him. Correctly so though, Miguna is a Canadian citizen, and he should own up to that. However in Kenya, where the law is for them and not for us, Miguna and those who employed him hoped to pass.
If Anglo leasing went through and everyone kept quiet, including the noisy PNU, then why should anyone make noise about a poor child from Nyando becoming a Canadian citizen, then moving back to be an adviser of the prime minister?
In my village and many other communities, this would be a miracle. It would be a reason to praise God. This is an achievement of godly proportion, and though I had said before that “olund Miguna Miguna ok e dish mawatoke”, Miguna still stands out as a fighter, and no one, including me, can take that away from him. It is ok to call a spade a spade though, even when your competitors are involved in bad governance, hence you try as much as you can to do right.
However, in my view, the PNU contention is a mere vendetta. The Somalis, born in Somali, are running around and working in Kenya. Why should Miguna Miguna, born in Ahero, not live in Ahero and by extension Kenya. Africa is screwed and screwed but that is another topic.
For Nyanza MPS to gang up against Miguna, something must be extremely wrong and I bet you , I know what it is. Raila eventually found someone who has a complementary chemistry to his. Anyone who has met Miguna says he is arrogant. At the same time anyone who has met Raila says he is not openly arrogant. However, he is openly cunning. Arrogant/ cunning, we have a match. Miguna is the complementary half Raila has been waiting for. The luo MPS can cry as loud as they want, but I must say, Raila has made his choice. It is Miguna Miguna. Raila found the rest to be psychophants of which Miguna is not. Believe me Miguna is a man who can tell you and I repeat, “olundi ok e dish mawatoke”.
As an Obedient student of Raila, he was expelled from the Nairobi University. He believes in Pan Africanism, which is Odinga family’s brain child. What else can Raila ask for? Miguna comes from a small village in Wawidhi. I come from Kakola, a little bit bigger than Wawidhi, but with no member of parliament candidate. I watched Miguna on NTV and in comparison to his days on campus, and high school, Miguna has turned out to be a man I can campaign for in Nyando. Outa must retire. He has no national outlook as Miguna. He should be aware of this.
There is only one thing I ask of Miguna. Obey the law sir. Stop embarrassing the prime minister. Be a Kenyan citizen, until the law allows for dual citizenship. The Kenya of yesterday is not the Kenya of today.

I do not know this Miguna fellow but I think part of the problem he is encountering is that he’s got his feet in two places at the same time. There are those who think he can afford to play hard ball because when shit hits the fan he will take his ass elsewhere and live to fight another day.
Judging from the events that arose from last elections, those who are negotiating for improved governance in the country must be seen to be those that all they have got is Kenya. It is a matter of life and death for Kenyan’s future.
MP Outa maybe scared stiff about Miguna. That is the least of our priorities.
Miguna Miguna has a Kenyan national ID card. What else does one need to have to show citizenship?
The issue of Miguna Miguna is actually a non-issue(this must be an oxymoron). The Central province people have been ranting their heads off about including dual citizenship in the new constitution but right now, they seem to have forgotten it. Just like they forget what the representation system is in the US.
They selectively tell us that Congressional districts are allocated in proportion to the population of each State. They then conveniently, forget to add that the other EQUALLY powerful legislative body in the US, the Senate, is a system of TWO Senators from each State, IRRESPECTIVE of the size of the State. California has TWO senators. So does Delaware. Yet California has close to 30 million people and Delaware just about 700,000.
Thus, one gets the impression that these people only think tactically and NOT STRATEGICALLY. There are many examples. It is not stereotyping. I have just given two examples. There are many more.

Come on people,
Let us not drag Miguna into Nyando politics. He has surpassed this. In fact, stop thinking that the only way Miguna can be useful is to be an elected MP. Look, what he has already done that make the opposition begin to rant.
Miguna is a Kenyan just like I am an American. It does not matter that I am, I am still Kenyan and will very soon show you that I am more Kenyan than some with a national ID. These are issue driven times. Not tribal, not syncophancy nor party affiliation that dictate who is who.
As for Nyando, we are almost drafting Omondi Bunde, the fisherman. He’s idea is ahead of his time with the JISAIDIYE project will defeat Outa. Watch his movement grow at: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=313745325062&ref=ts

JORUM, YOU NEED A LIFE. STOP DAY DREAMING THERE IN USA WASHING OLD PPLE DIAPERS, AND THINKING YOU CAN CONQUER WITH BUNDE STUFF. IF U WANNA RUN RUN
Abonyo or is it Jakabonyo
This must be Abonyo himself or a disgrantled Abonyo supporter. Just reveal yourself and we can discuss, urgue or persuade. Your candidacy failed in our initial assessment and we decided to support Omondi Bunde instead. Time will tell. Lets just watch and see.

Miguna is a Kenyan period!
How come the Canadian embassy has not commented on this Miguna citizenship issue?
Where are our journalist? They need to prud and invesigate this kind of issues.
Are our journalist so scared? such that, they may open a pardora box?
Sofar, No one has the knowlege wether or not Miguna has renounced his Canadian citizenship.
How come Kajwang, with all the power of a minister could not bring it to himself, and inquire if and when Miguna renounced his Canadian citizenship?
Guys this Miguna Miguna will always be a Kenyan Citizen. So lets talk other important issues, not this
Every one,
In regards to citizenship, Canada does not require you to renounce anything!
You can if you do so want. And you can always reclaim it back whenever you want.
For reference, check the government of Canada web site. It is :
http://canada.gc.ca/home.html.
Canadians are free to roam all over the planet, and they are encouraged to run for offices whenever they want!
It is only backward governments, led by ignorant people, that limit their citizens.
A good example are the Kenyan leaders, and their gouvernment.
Mr. Miguna does not have to renounce Canadian citizenship!

Dr Barack Abonyo, who like Miguna Miguna, comes from Nyando, has in the resent past expressed his ambition to become an MP for the Nyando constituency. This being so, there could be enough reason for him to fear Miguna Miguna, who is not only exuding intelligence, but also excellence, first as a Nyando citizen, and indeed a potential MP.
Dr Barack Abonyo should be told that character assassination of a fellow Nyando man is not at all attractive to the voters who will be the only ones to decide who will be the next MP come the 2010 elections. No one becomes a hero by defaming a brother, if at all such action raises more questions/doubts about the very integrity of the brother abuser. If anything, any sincere person from Nyando constituency should be proud of having one of their own as the adviser of the PM, a progressive reformer of the caliber of Raila Amolo Odinga.

My article was actually in support of Miguna. The only thing you might have considered negative is when I asked Miguna to ensure that his papers were right and asked him to think about making sure this is done before the next general election. I also said I may support his bid for Nyando.

Dr. Barack Obonyo,
Miguna Miguna, the former PM’s advisor on Coalition Government is my kin and neighbor at Apondo, whether he is a Kenyan or a Canadian citizen.
We were exceedingly happy when he became a man of the PM. We were not happy when they fell out and we felt the PM acted severely by suddenly unconditionally suspending him from his duty. We thought the PM was angry for some reason.
Then Miguna began spewing words of revolt and rebellion. We thought he was wrong. When he rejected his reinstatement we thought he was very wrong. And when he talked of writing a book against the PM we thought he was utterly wrong. He has since teamed up with competitors of the PM and continued to besmirch his reputation. That is not what we can be proud about.
Whether Miguna is a Canadian, Kenyan or Pan African we care the less. Whether he has been controversial in College or not, it is up to him. Ours is to wish he matures and considers better options than swimming in the pool of bitterness. Serving in the PM’s shadow at one time is a privilege only a fool drags in miry bog.
Miguna Miguna has become a waste and a bad name and associating him with Nyando is in bad taste. We are gentlemen in the area. Thanks.
Miguna has done philosophy ,And a person with that education can turn out to be a very dangerous human if he means to.because he knows the theory of a thinking man.so he can be very dangerous if not very useful.thats why Miguna has been an agent of wikileaks in kenya and with no one being aware.he is just a person you cannot face or argue with.the best is let him speak.only a fellow philosopher can challenge him
AND FINALLY THE CHICKEN HAVE COME HOME TO ROOST. THE FAMOUS MIGUNA, WHO YOU CLAIM TO HAVE THE CHEMISTRY WITH RAILA, HAS GONE BISERK AND IS DRAGING RAILA IN THE MUD. NOW ALL LUOS HATE HIM. SOME HAVE EVEN ATTEMPTED TO BURN HIS RURAL HOME DESPITE THEIR KNOWING THAT MIGUNA DOES NOT EVEN HAVE A SIMBA THERE. THE SIGNS WERE THERE BUT EVERYONE IN ODM EXCEPT OUTA IGNORED. SO STAY BRAVE RAO AND WEATHER THE STORM. KIBAKI WEATHERED GITHONGO AND I DO NOT SEE WHY YOU SHALL NOT WEATHER THIS ONE.
