CS for ICT, Innovation, and Youth In response to their persistent online attacks on him, Joe Mucheru has taken aim at Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi and exiled attorney Miguna Miguna.
A bizarre claim by Miguna Miguna that Mucheru is in charge of changing Form 34As in the IEBC system to elevate ODM leader Raila Odinga above President-Elect William Ruto set off the internet debate. Furthermore, according to Miguna, the allegedly inflated numbers on Form 34As are intended to support Raila’s presidential petition.
However, the CS quickly denied the charges and said that the attorneys were constantly on his side.
Mucheru begged the respected lawyers to practice their craft and refrain from relentlessly criticizing him.
“I think lawyers Miguna Miguna and Ahmednasir should stick to their profession. Always Mucheru this Mucheru that, don’t you have your own lawyers to deal with? It’s your big day at the Supreme Court tomorrow, FOCUS! or are you going to be spectators like me?” the ICT CS tweeted.
In a quick rejoinder, Miguna Miguna told Mucheru that he is committed to exposing, fighting and defeating public officers involved in subversion of the Constitution.
“Mr Mucheru. You hold public office which you abuse and use to subvert the Constitution. Kenyan taxpayers pay you to uphold the Constitution. I’m committed to exposing, fighting and defeating merchants of impunity like you – unapologetically,” he stated.
