Lawyer Miguna Miguna now wants President William Ruto to withdraw the contentious Finance Bill 2023.
In a detailed Twitter post, the outspoken Advocate asked President Ruto to “listen to Kenyans”.
“My unsolicited advice to Kenya Kwanza, President William Ruto and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, pull back, listen to Kenyans,” he tweeted.
He is advising the Kenya Kwanza government to postpone the implementation of the proposed Housing Levy and return to the drawing Board.
At the same time, Miguna wants Ruto to hire new, independent, and truthful advisors.
“Reshuffle your communications team and hire two or three fresh faces”
Miguna asked Ruto not to rely on what he describes as the “yes men and women”.
“Don’t be defensive, don’t argue with the people,” Miguna wrote.

Additionally, he wants the President to stop entrenching the perception that he is only hiring exclusively from two ethnic groups.
“Stop hiring and recycling incompetent failures and graft riddled conmen”.
“The reckless talk about two shareholders in a country of 50 million people is political suicide”.

Miguna wants Ruto to learn from the late former President Mwai Kibaki who was elected with 68% of votes in 2022 but was defeated in a referendum 2 years later.
Miguna noted that Azimio leader Raila Odinga is gaining popularity because many of the senior government officials appointed by Ruto are failing to engage Kenyans in a transparent, respectful, and accountable manner.
“Urgently address the issues of high cost of living, corruption, and tribalism. We must stop the downward spiral and steady the ship”.
