Miguna claimed that the government’s actions amount to criminal acts meant to frighten Kenyans into submission. He argued that targeting opposition members in places of worship crosses a dangerous line and undermines the country’s democratic and moral foundations.
According to Miguna, churches are supposed to be neutral and safe spaces where citizens gather freely without fear of political persecution. He said that extending state pressure into such spaces shows desperation within the current administration.
He alleged that the harassment is part of a wider strategy to weaken opposition voices as political tensions continue to rise. Miguna warned that such tactics risk eroding public trust in institutions meant to protect citizens’ rights and freedoms.
In his remarks, Miguna urged Kenyans not to be intimidated, calling on them to resist and oppose what he described as unlawful and authoritarian behavior. He insisted that silence and fear would only embolden further abuse of power.
The claims have sparked renewed debate about political tolerance, freedom of association, and the role of the state in respecting civil liberties. Supporters of the opposition say the allegations point to shrinking democratic space, while government allies dismiss the claims as exaggerated.
As the political climate heats up, Miguna’s remarks have added to growing concerns about how far political rivalry is spilling into public and private spaces across the country.
