Miguna Miguna's Condition to Ruto Before Giving Him State Job

Lawyer Miguna Miguna has stated that he would not take up specific appointments from President William Ruto should the latter offer him a state job.

In an interview with NTV on the evening of Friday, October 21, Miguna said he is loyal to the cardinality of the constitution and rule of law.

He said he would not abet the flouting of some provisions of the law by taking up certain appointments.

Miguna was categorical that he would avail himself for other state jobs other than the Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) post which he holds is unconstitutional.

"It depends on which government appointment. Like for example, there are things I would not take. I don't appoint myself. The appointment would have to be proposed then I say why I take it or not," said Miguna.

"There are so many things I would not take. I won't take the illegal CAS position," he further stated during the interview.

The constitutional aspect of the CAS positions remains contested with the court having declared them as unconstitutional.

Miguna has been a proponent of Ruto whom he has thanked for keeping the promise of facilitating his return from exile.

The lawyer landed in Kenya on Thursday, October 20, marking the end of close to five years of being exiled in Canada.

He was unceremoniously ejected from the country in early 2018 after partaking in what the government said was a treasonous act.

He had administered an oath to then NASA leader Raila Odinga who had vowed to challenge the legitimacy of retired president Uhuru Kenyatta's re-election in the 2017 general election.

In the course of his stay in Canada, Miguna shifted his allegiance to Ruto whom he rooted for the country's top job.

He turned to one of Raila's chief critics, calling on Kenyans to reject the ODM leader's presidential candidature.
