Controversial lawyer and political activist Miguna Miguna has launched a scathing attack on Ida Odinga following her acceptance of an appointment under President William Ruto’s administration.
In a strongly worded statement, Miguna accused Ida Odinga of hypocrisy, opportunism, and greed, questioning her decision to take up a role in a government she and her family have long opposed.
“Ida Odinga is the definition and face of hypocrisy, opportunism, and greed,” Miguna claimed. “Why the hurry to pick up Ruto’s crumbs?”
Miguna argued that the move contradicts the long-standing opposition stance associated with the Odinga family and undermines years of political resistance against the current administration. According to him, accepting the appointment sends a confusing message to supporters who have consistently criticised President Ruto’s leadership and policies.
Ida Odinga’s appointment has generated mixed reactions across the political divide. While some have defended her decision as a chance to serve the nation and contribute her experience to public service, critics view it as a betrayal of opposition ideals and a sign of political accommodation.
Miguna’s remarks add to the growing debate over cooperation between opposition-linked figures and the government, a trend that has continued to reshape Kenya’s political landscape. As reactions continue to pour in, the controversy highlights deep divisions over principle, power, and political survival.
