Lawyer Miguna Miguna has vehemently opposed a potential Handshake between president William Ruto and former interior CS Fred Matiang’i.
In a tweet, Miguna while reacting to a media report hinting at the possibility of Ruto and Matiang’i reconciling termed it as tragic and a horrible mistake if it happens.
“If true, this would be a tragic and horrible mistake. The millions of Kenyans who voted for Ruto and Gachagua hate Fred Matiang’i and everything he represents,” he said.
No one is calling for “an eye for an eye.” Kenyans want, deserve and expect accountability and justice. For that to occur, wrongdoers must be held to account for all the wrongs they committed, otherwise, IMPUNITY will never end in Kenya. https://t.co/41xrAx1t3x

The reaction by Miguna came amidst reports that a series of meetings held between Kisii leaders, the president and others with his allies brokered a deal for Matiangí release by DPP Noordin Haji.
On Sunday, Matiang’i and Education CS Ezekiel Machogu on Sunday met at an undisclosed hotel in Karen.
However, details of the meeting were not disclosed.
“Yes, it is true we held a meeting. Mr Machogu and Dr Matiang’i were present. All we want is to reconcile our people and unite the community. We heard from the former CS and he also listened to us. I must say it was a good meeting for the greater good of our community,” said Nyamoko.
He added,” We cannot continue fighting as a community. Other regions are united and protecting their own, whether in the current or former regime. Here in Gusii, we focus too much on small fights, which are not useful to anyone. It is time we heeded the unity call and forges forward together.”
The Second term MP also revealed that the former powerful CS apologized to anyone he wronged in the previous regime.
Notably hours after the meeting the Director of Public Prosecutions dropped Matiang’i’s charges that had been presented by the DCI.
