@VERSORIUM1 @MigunaMiguna @GizeGizee @DanDanielMwanik @ricmuriithi @eugene_wakhungu @TrottoirRadio @RailaOdinga Miguna wanted power, thats why we disagreed on the swearing on strategy. He was pushing Raila to take official oath outside the country and demanding international recognition from exile. 1/6
@VERSORIUM1 @MigunaMiguna @GizeGizee @DanDanielMwanik @ricmuriithi @eugene_wakhungu @TrottoirRadio @RailaOdinga I told him 2 things. (i) that was a Besigye strike-a-blow-and-die strategy that I totally disagreed with in principle (2) NASA was a broad based political coalition, not a revolutionary movement, 2/6
@VERSORIUM1 @MigunaMiguna @GizeGizee @DanDanielMwanik @ricmuriithi @eugene_wakhungu @TrottoirRadio @RailaOdinga swearing in for us was part of a broader mass action strategy, which we would only do after building consensus in the coalition. At this point he bellowed at me: “you people don’t want power”, and I replied, “true, we want change”. 3/6
@VERSORIUM1 @MigunaMiguna @GizeGizee @DanDanielMwanik @ricmuriithi @eugene_wakhungu @TrottoirRadio @RailaOdinga As fate would have it, Raila called him from Germany as we were arguing, Miguna outlined the plan of swearing him in Dar. Raila sounded quite apprehensive—said it needed to be “thought through.” That was our last conversation on swearing in. 4/6
@VERSORIUM1 @MigunaMiguna @GizeGizee @DanDanielMwanik @ricmuriithi @eugene_wakhungu @TrottoirRadio @RailaOdinga He went off to do his revolution thing, and we went of to do ours i.e. building grassroot consensus with the People’s Assemblies. He showed up in Kilifi only to be (conveniently?) stopped by police at Mtwapa. 5/6
@VERSORIUM1 @MigunaMiguna @GizeGizee @DanDanielMwanik @ricmuriithi @eugene_wakhungu @TrottoirRadio @RailaOdinga We learned that there was an impromptu swearing in planned. Thankfully it did not happen. Next encounter was when he showed up at Uhuru Park on 30th, for which he continues to claim full and exclusive credit. 6/6
