In a statement shared on his X account, Miguna said he had been critical of political leaders from various parties and accused his critics of selectively attacking him whenever he exposes what he describes as failures within Kenya’s political system.
Miguna maintained that his criticism has not been limited to a particular political faction, saying he has previously challenged leaders including President William Ruto, former presidents Uhuru Kenyatta, and other prominent figures across the political divide.
He argued that his criticism of political leaders in Luo Nyanza and other regions should not be interpreted as hostility towards any community, but rather as part of his broader opposition to corruption, incompetence and poor leadership.
Miguna Defends Remarks on Historical Marginalisation
The activist also addressed criticism surrounding his comments on historical marginalisation, insisting that discussions about inequality and exclusion should be based on historical records and evidence rather than political emotions.
Miguna argued that the Luo community has experienced systemic and institutional marginalisation since independence, saying the issue remains unresolved.
He dismissed criticism from those who reject discussions around historical injustices, saying available historical records and data support his arguments.
According to Miguna, acknowledging past inequalities does not amount to attacking other communities but is necessary for addressing long-standing national challenges.
Criticism of Political Rivalries
Miguna also criticised what he described as hypocrisy among political actors who accuse him of opposing everyone while failing to acknowledge his consistent stance against leaders he considers ineffective or corrupt.
He said he would continue challenging political leaders regardless of their party affiliations, arguing that speaking against injustice is part of his public responsibility.
The remarks come amid renewed political debate over regional representation, historical grievances and leadership accountability as Kenya’s political formations intensify mobilisation ahead of the 2027 General Election.
