Lawyer Miguna Miguna on Tuesday, November 1, countered Azimio party leader, Raila Odinga's, demands for the immediate release of jailed Sirisia Member of Parliament, John Waluke.
Miguna urged Raila to desist from issuing demands to the court and pressuring the Judiciary, arguing that the former Prime Minister was hypocritical.
Raila, he stated, was vocal about the adherence to the rule of law and respecting the independence of the Judiciary before the August 9 polls.
"He yelled endlessly about the rule of law during the just concluded presidential campaign," remarked Miguna.

Miguna also supported the court's decision to prosecute Waluke, who was found guilty of embezzling Ksh297 million in the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) maize fraud case.
"Waluke must stay in jail where he belongs," Miguna, who recently returned to the country from forced exile in Canada, agitated.
The former Prime minister had earlier demanded the lawmaker's release, claiming that the crime did not warrant criminal proceedings.
Speaking at a burial ceremony in Kakamega County on Monday, October 31, the former prime minister claimed that the sentence given to the MP was unfair.
"He was charged for billing and receiving money for services he did not deliver and should have been asked to refund it instead. That case should be done away with in totality," Raila demanded.
"How can you condemn a 55-year-old to 67 years imprisonment? That is akin to jailing Raila for 50 years, is that fair? We want Waluke to be granted a bond immediately," he stated.
Waluke was jailed for 67 years with an alternative of a Ksh1 billion fine. His business partner, Grace Wakhungu, was jailed for 69 years.
October 6, High Court judge Esther Maina dismissed Waluke's appeal, contesting a ruling by the Anti-Corruption Court which sentenced him to 67 years in prison or pay an alternative fine of Ksh1 billion.
The court also noted that the evidence brought against him was factual as it showed the accused had been illegally receiving the money.
The two are serving jail terms after failing to come up with bail.
