A number of Nasa members have come out openly to admit that they failed outspoken politician Miguna Miguna during his most trying moment in the hands of the government.

Edwin Sifuna, who is part of the legal team representing the lawmaker, is the most notable figure within Nasa’s top leadership who has made the admission on Twitter in the wake of Miguna’s deportation to Canada on Wednesday.

Sifuna, however, didn’t elaborate further on his statement.

We failed Miguna Miguna.

We failed him.
We never mobilised our army.
But the most interesting thing is that while @MigunaMiguna was being tortured @skmusyoka was in a NEC meeting.
The agenda was ; he wish to be sworn in.

At the same time, sources within the opposition coalition have indicated to Nairobi News that there is reason to believe the top leadership ‘did not do enough’ to help Miguna when he was in custody.

Others have even suggested that it could be a top Nasa who tipped the government of the ‘anomaly’ in Miguna’s citizenship status and travel documents.
