Opposition activist Miguna Miguna made headlines on June 28, 2020, when he cancelled his interview with K24's Anne Kiguta at the last minute.

The interview was set to take place on K24's Punchline show, where Miguna Miguna was expected to discuss issues facing the nation.

However, Miguna Miguna pulled out of the interview after sensing mischief, citing a change in plans orchestrated by Mutahi Ngunyi.

According to Miguna Miguna, the decision to host him alongside lawyer Ndegwa Njiru, who was also scheduled to appear on the show, was a material change in the original plan.

"I'm not going to be party to Mutahi Ngunyi's schemes, I consider this a material change in what we had discussed and an attempt to cause unnecessary distractions and drama that would irreparably undermine what I stand for," Miguna Miguna stated.

He further clarified that the show host and Ngunyi were mischievous in making arrangements for him to be interviewed in the show alongside Ndegwa when it is known that he is not from Kirinyaga.

"To Anne Kiguta, K24, Mutahi Ngunyi and Uhuru Kenyatta. I'm not from Kirinyaga. I'm not a Kirinyaga MCA. I don't represent Anne Waiguru or the Kirinyaga MCAs," Miguna Miguna wrote.
