Miguna Miguna harshly mourns Kenya’s first Attorney General ‘rot in hell’

by Enock Ndayala

Exiled lawyer Miguna Miguna has harshly mourned Kenya’s first Attorney General Charles Njonjo.

On Sunday, January 2, the family of Charles Njonjo confirmed that the only surviving member of Kenya’s independence Cabinet passed away peacefully at 5 am at the age of 101 years just three weeks before his hundred and second birthday.

While Kenyans of goodwill led by President Uhuru Kenyatta eulogized Njonjo as not only a national hero but also an icon of Kenya’s progress, Canada-based Kenyan lawyer Miguna Miguna seems to have wished that Njonjo could have died a bit earlier.

In a series of Tweets, the embattled lawyer said the problems bedeviling the country including tribalism, corruption, and land grabbing among others could not be there was it that Njonjo was a patriotic Kenyan.

“Rot in hell, Charles Njonjo. You represent all the problems Kenyans want and must rid them of Tribalism, Corruption, Repression, Land-Grabbing, Self-Hatred, Use of Political Power for Personal Gain, and ANTI-AFRICAN Neocolonial Structures, Laws and Policies,” Miguna Miguna said.

While accusing Njonjo of not only being illiterate to hold the AG office, Miguna said the late Charles Njonjo spent 100 years of his life abusing, degrading, and torturing Africans.

“Because he wasn’t qualified and suffered from debilitating low self-esteem, Charles Njonjo spent 15 years as Jomo Kenyatta’s AG, imposing dictatorial rules over genuine advocates, detaining, torturing, killing, and exiling freedom fighters and supporting apartheid in South Africa,” he said.

According to ex-AG’s son-in-law, Carey Ngini, who is the husband of Njonjo’s second-born daughter Mary Wambui, the late Cherlse Njonjo died of pneumonia after ailing for almost a year.

Njonjo was later cremated at the Kariokor crematorium a few hours after his death, at a private ceremony attended by close family members and a handful of guests.
