Lawyer Miguna Miguna has weighed in on the issues raised by the Azimio la Umoja coalition in the bi-partisan talks.
Miguna in a statement on Thursday, May 11 poked holes in the demands by the Raila Odinga-led coalition to have the 2022 presidential election audited.
He argued that if Azimio wants the election audited they should first have all elected Members of Parliament allied to the coalition to resign.
“If this moving target is the core agenda of the “talks,” then it’s a complete waste of time and public resources - and it should be disbanded. If the Azimio group wants to “audit the 2022 general election,” then it’s members (all elected MPs in that election) should resign,” said Miguna.
