Seemed easier to start afresh. First, I enjoyed serialisation of Miguna's book tremendously and formed well rounded opinions of Jakom and his posse.

But no man is perfect; so Sarah Elderkin's installment begins today http://www.nation.co.ke/News/po...0/-/misyvbz/-/index.html and also pulls no punches...

+ when Justice Warsame rules against Miguna on Dec 15 2011 in the case challenging Miguna's suspension by Raila, he of his own volition characterized Miguna as a man:
“who exhibits mental and emotional fits in his defence of issues”, having a “relentless sense of fighting back”, as one “who appears unpredictable and ready to fight”...“He is described as a man living in [a] mental darkroom.”


+ Much of Miguna’s legal work in Canada had consisted of assisting immigrants, including immigrants from Kenya. In the course of this work, the 40-year-old Miguna had been publicly arrested on November 4, 2002, and charged with sexual assault on one of his clients, a 19-year-old woman.

Miguna appeared in court for trial on July 14, 2003, when he was rearrested and charged with further counts of sexual assault on another immigration client.


+ One thing that was not in question then was Miguna’s loyalty to Raila Odinga. But it became apparent that this was no ordinary loyalty. It seemed more of an unhealthy obsession. In fact, Miguna’s fervent declarations that he “loved” Raila Odinga eventually became somewhat embarrassing and worrying.


+Miguna’s self-regarding behaviour again almost led to a diplomatic incident at a Rome Statute meeting in Kampala, where Miguna publicly contradicted the head of the Kenya team, former attorney-general Amos Wako, and also quarrelled with embassy staff there over the quality of his vehicle and his hotel room – which apparently was not superior enough for one of Miguna’s self-adjudged status.

Afterwards, Kenya’s foreign minister was forced to report to the Prime Minister’s office that Miguna “lacked tact and could easily have attracted a fight had it not been for the extreme restraint by the AG and others”.

@Muganda,

Kenyans have a different interpretation of what constitutes an assault from the white police forces. The express circumstances must be explained for Kenyan men to judge. This could be another Assange or Sarkosy case. Assault is invoked normally after the deed depending on how things pun out.

Not to worry @FundamentAli, I was only aiding in excerpts and the man was acquitted anyway. What was interesting was how Miguna Miguna then proceeded to sue Queen of England, crown attorneys, Toronto Police Board, police officers involved in his arrest...

Always with a pinch of salt, a few more excerpts:

++ He was rude to his staff, rude to his colleagues, rude to his employer, rude to everyone in the coalition partnership and rude to everyone he wrote about with his poison pen in his regular Star newspaper column. It was exhausting for everyone having to cope with this on a daily basis.

And contrary to his claims, Miguna did not write his Star column at the behest of the Prime Minister. It is a fact that Miguna eventually falls out with many of the people he encounters, and it is no surprise to know that, true to form, he has since fallen out with the Star management and no longer has a column in that newspaper.



++ Back at the office, Miguna had also refused to sign the terms of his three-year contract, citing his lower remuneration than that of Kibwana, his opposite number in the coalition arrangement.Miguna was thus on a month-to-month arrangement.
Miguna made a signboard that he erected on his office door: ‘Permanent Secretary’ it declared, among other things.


++ He says people were jealous that, if Raila Odinga were not there, Miguna would be a contender for leadership of the Luo community.
