Exiled Kenyan lawyer Miguna Miguna on Thursday, April 28, 2022, gave his opinion just days after Westlands Member of Parliament Tim Wanyonyi announced that he will be defending his seat.

Tim made the announcement after his Nairobi gubernatorial ambitions were ended following Polycarp Igathe’s entry into the race.

Igathe’s entry through the Jubilee party ticket complicated Azimio La Umoja’s Nairobi formation, forcing other aspirants to step down for him.

Tim Wanyonyi’s entry into the Westlands parliamentary race sparked mixed reactions, with a section of Kenyans opining that he was going to retain the seat.

He will now be facing off with the immediate former Law Society of Kenya president Nelson Havi, who is vying on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket.

Wanyonyi has pledged his loyalty to his party, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), which he will be using to defend his seat.

However, Miguna Miguna has a different opinion.

The controversial lawyer claims that Havi will defeat Tim Wanyonyi in the August 9, 2022 polls.

Through a post on his official Twitter account, Miguna argues that Havi will be the best MP for Westlands, claiming that Wanyonyi is a coward, probably for accepting to step down for Igathe.

“President @NelsonHavi has been my lawyer. We don’t agree on many issues. However, he will be the BEST MP for Westlands. Tim Wanyonyi may be a good man. But he is a COWARD and has never LEGISLATED in Parliament. Parliament DESERVES eloquent and brilliant WARRIORS like @NelsonHavi,” tweeted Miguna Miguna.

Igathe on Thursday, April 28, 2022 paid a courtesy call on Tim Wanyonyi, who endorsed him for the Nairobi gubernatorial race.

“A courtesy call from the Azimio La Umoja – One Kenya Alliance Nairobi Gubernatorial candidate Polycarp Igathe. Asante,” Tim Wanyonyi posted.

Westlands MP Tim Wanyonyi has been taken into quarantine.

This happened shortly after the burial of his brother Tony Waswa Wetang’ula, on Wednesday May 20, 2020.

Tony was laid to rest like a Covid-19 victim, with Bungoma Health Workers taking control of the body from the time it arrived at his rural home in Mukhweya village, Kabuchai Constituency in Bungoma County, to the time it was interred.

The Health workers fumigated the coffin, and immediately took it by the graveside after offloading it from the helicopter that was carrying it.

Tony was interred in a ceremony that lasted almost an hour, with five priests presiding over the ceremony.

Residents were forced to watch the event from a distance, since only about 60 people were allowed to attend, most of them being close relatives.

Until his death, Tony was Tim Wanyonyi’s personal aide. He is the one who took him to Aga Khan hospital, where he succumbed while undergoing treatment.

Reports indicated that Tony showed fever signs before being rushed to hospital.

A post shared on social media by blogger Robert Alai intimates that Tim Wanyonyi was taken to Quarantine in a chopper that had carried the body.

However, Health CS Mutahi Kagwe has said that the government is yet to establish whether Tony, who is also Moses Wetangula’s brother died of Covid-19.

Addressing journalists during the daily Covid-19 briefings on Wednesday May 20, Kagwe said that he could not ascertain until contact tracing was done, highly suggesting that Waswa could have died of Covid-19.

“We cannot respond to that question until we have done the contact tracing [to establish whether Waswa’s contact persons were exposed to coronavirus or not], and indeed certified that what you are saying [that Tony Waswa died of coronavirus] is correct,” said CS Kagwe.

Bungoma senator Moses Wetang’ula and Westlands MP Timothy Wanyonyi’s brother Tony Waswa was on Wednesday 20, 2020 laid to rest in their rural home in Sirisia Constituency, Bungoma County.

The late was however, accorded a Covid-19-like burial.

Tony passed on while undergoing treatment at the Agha Khan Hospital in Nairobi last Friday. Villagers and other residents of Sirisia have been forced to crane their necks over fence to catch the burial ceremony.

At least five priests led the ceremony that lasted for less than an hour as the family observed coronavirus health guidelines, with officials from the Ministry of Health Handling the body from the moment it arrived by a helicopter, to the time of interment.

Away from the graveside where the men of God said prayers before his remains could be lowered, sat four staffs from the Health Ministry’s COVID-19 response team. The four donned overflowing white personal protective gears that only left faces uncovered.

Kenyans on social media are now questioning whether the late died of Covid-19, following the way he was buried.

Until his death, the late was an aide to Wanyonyi who has been an lawmaker at the National Assembly since 2013.
