The interview, widely shared online, has drawn strong reactions from supporters and critics alike, reopening long-standing questions about governance, rule of law, and accountability in Kenya.
Miguna argues that Kenya has experienced a worrying pattern of abductions that span both periods when Ruto served as Deputy President under Uhuru Kenyatta and his current tenure as President.
According to Miguna, these incidents reflect a culture of impunity, as those responsible for the abductions and enforced disappearances have never been held accountable. He insists that justice has been systematically denied to victims and their families.
Drawing from personal experience, Miguna revisited his own abduction and forcible deportation from Kenya, an episode that sparked national and international outrage at the time.
He named individuals he claims were involved in the operation, alleging that some of them continue to serve in senior positions within President Ruto’s government.
For Miguna, this is evidence that the state has failed to reform or take responsibility for past abuses.
The outspoken lawyer also accused President Ruto of weakening democratic institutions. He claimed that Parliament has been muzzled and reduced to a rubber-stamp body, unable to effectively check the executive.
In addition, Miguna alleged that the President routinely disobeys court orders, a move he says undermines constitutional governance.
Miguna further warned that threats against the judiciary have created fear and compromised judicial independence.
He argued that respect for the rule of law is non-negotiable in a democratic society and that any leader who disregards it should not be entrusted with another term.
The interview has fueled renewed public conversation about leadership, accountability, and Kenya’s democratic future as the country slowly turns its attention to the 2027 general election.
