Political activist Miguna Miguna has spoken firmly about who is qualified to run for president in Kenya.
He reminded the public that the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, clearly outlines the requirements for anyone seeking the country’s highest office.
According to Miguna, a presidential candidate must have a valid university degree from an institution recognized in Kenya.
He stressed that academic qualifications are not optional but a constitutional requirement that must be respected.
Miguna added that anyone who scored an E in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) cannot vie for the presidency.
Instead, such individuals may pursue other positions like Member of County Assembly (MCA) or Member of Parliament (MP), which have different entry requirements.
He criticized people he described as engaging in “sideshows and theatrical stunts.”
Miguna argued that some individuals are declaring their presidential ambitions even though they do not meet the legal standards.
He believes these actions distract Kenyans from more important battles such as corruption, poor governance, and what he referred to as “tyrannical projects” associated with President William Ruto.
Miguna warned that pretending to run for the presidency without qualifications divides citizens who are genuinely fighting for freedom and accountability.
This division, he said, gives more room for leaders to misuse power and exploit national resources.
He urged Kenyans and aspiring leaders to embrace honesty and integrity. Miguna concluded that Kenya’s future depends on leaders who meet constitutional requirements and are committed to transparency, not those seeking attention or political drama.
