Kenyan exiled lawyer Miguna Miguna has dismissed Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i elevation to chief minister and termed it as a strategy by Mt Kenya Oligarchs to inflate Mt Kenya region population census numbers (voters) for hedging in his 2022 ambition of not retiring and transiting to Prime Minister position.
2019 is the year of census and CS Matiangi’s docket is charged with registration of persons. Miguna’s sentiments were shared by some Kalenjin leaders who requested anonymity for now, they indicated they are still gathering information to expose the dark plaot to the public.
Mr. Fred Okengo Matiang'i is a convicted criminal who Justice Odunga convicted on March 28, 2018 and sentenced on March 29, 2018. The convictions and sentences haven't been overturned. His appointment to head the census, referendum and 2022 gerrymandering plans are exposed.

On Tuesday, President Uhuru Kenyatta appointed Matiang’i as Chairman of powerful National Development Implementation and Communication Cabinet Committee, a move which literally places him as the powerful minister in the current set-up.
“Mr Fred Okengo Matiang’i is a convicted criminal who Justice Odunga convicted on March 28, 2018 and sentenced on March 29, 2018. The convictions and sentences haven’t been overturned. His appointment to head the census, referendum and 2022 gerrymandering plans are exposed,” Miguna Miguna tweeted.
The fiery lawyer who was deported by the department of immigration under the orders from Matiang’i insisted that the minister’s current powers will diminish, giving examples of previous de facto colleagues.
Cabal soft heads have been ululating about the appointment by Tyrant @UKenyatta of a convicted criminal @FredMatiangi as the head of the Kenyan Gestapo. Where did Charles Njonjo, GG Kariuki and Nicholas Biwott who were once more powerful than @FredMatiangi end up?

Until now, the state is yet to facilitate the return of Miguna Miguna despite numerous court orders and petitions by human right groups within and outside the country.
Dr Matiang’i will be in charge of supervising, monitoring and communicating progress of government projects directly to President Uhuru Kenyatta, a move that has raised questions over the role of DP William Ruto.
