Lawyer Miguna Miguna has for the first time broken his silence on the worst appointments President William Ruto made during the unveiling of his Cabinet on Tuesday, September 27.
Speaking to The Tackle, where he was hosted by Gerald Bitok, Miguna listed two appointments Ruto named that he deems wrong.
According to Miguna, Treasury nominee Njuguna Ndungu was a mistake.
He claimed the man never delivered when served as the CBK governor.
"He failed when he was the governor. He is not somebody who can turn around the economy. So I have a problem with that. But of course, the President must know why he appointed him. It is not my prerogative but I have the freedom to say what I am saying," Miguna said.

The exiled lawyer further revealed that the appointment of Susan Nakumicha Wafula as Health CS was also a big mistake.
He said he feels the nominee is not up to the task owing to her level of experience.
"I have a problem with the minister of health who I don't think understands health. She has a diploma basically as far as I am concerned in some unrelated field. Maybe distant cousin to medicine. I don't think that is the appropriate person to handle the important docket of Health," he said.
He added, "I am not saying that ministers should be appointed to the docket they studied. That is not correct because all you ought to understand is public policy and how you are going to provide in that docket. There are people who cannot understand public policy and we know by just looking at their resume. The rest of the picks I think are excellent."
