Miguna Miguna, the self-proclaimed general of the proscribed National Resistance Movement (NRM), had emerged as a major actor in the Opposition. More specifically, on the role, the combative lawyer played in the controversial swearing-in of Raila Odinga as the ‘people’s president’.
Sadly, the fame went to his head to an extent that he dared the Government to arrest him instead of victimizing Opposition politicians for the unlawful ceremony. For a short while, the activist seemed to get away with it.
