"Anabweka Bweka Huko Nje Kama Mbwa": Raila Breaks Silence on Miguna Miguna’s Return

Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga has broken his silence on Miguna Miguna's travel woes. 

Speaking on Friday, Odinga stated that no one has barred Miguna from traveling back to Kenya and that no one fears his return.

“Anabweka bweka huko nje kama mbwa..sii akuje abweke hapa…Uhuru haogopi Miguna..Raila haogopi Miguna…nilimpatia kazi…Wacha arudi hapa Kenya,” Raila said.

Odinga was speaking in Kisii during the first county Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) consultative forum that was attended by over 3,000 delegates.

Miguna, who worked as Raila’s aide during the grand coalition government, is stuck in Germany after he was barred by Lufthansa and Air France from traveling to Kenya on Tuesday over a red alert allegedly issued by the government of Kenya.

At the same time, Raila revealed that a referendum will be held before the end of June this year and urged leaders to advocate for it at the grassroots level.

“Tumewaambia MCAs waende kwa wananchi,” he said.

Cabinet Secretaries Fred Matiang’i (Interior) and Eugene Wamalwa (Devolution); and Governors Hassan Joho (Mombasa), James Ongwae (Kisii) and Charity Ngilu (Kitui) were among leaders who attended the BBI meeting in Kisii.
