Lawyer Miguna Miguna now says that the Opposition protests cannot lead to anything better for Kenyans.

Speaking during an interview with TRT World, Miguna said this is because Raila Odinga who is leading the protests is a selfish man.

He said the former Prime Minister was only pushing for the protests for himself and his allies.

"He said if he were to become president he would pursue and continue the tyrannical policies of Uhuru Kenyatta. So when he says he is leading protests, he is leading protests for himself. This is a selfish man who is only interested in his stomach and that of his cronies," he said.

"There is absolutely no way these protests could lead to anything better for Kenyans. When the cost of living was at its highest, Uhuru Kenyatta was president and Raila Odinga was supporting him."

Miguna insisted that the protests are a way Raila has used over the years to dupe Kenyans.

Miguna added that Raila is not a progressive leader and that this can be seen from the time he decided to back Uhuru's regime.

"Raila Odinga is not committed to change, he's not committed to transformation. He is not an intellectual or progressive leader," Miguna stated.

In the run-up to the August 2022 election, Miguna who was in exile backed President William Ruto's candidature.
