Controversial Lawyer Miguna Miguna has maintained that he is at peace with the panelists’ decision to exclude him from the shortlist of 15 candidates poised to take over the Director of Public Prosecutions job.
In a series of tweets on Saturday, July 22, the outspoken lawyer noted that he was aware, during the application process, that not being shortlisted was a possible outcome.
“I am aware that when you apply for something with others, you can get or not get what you sought.
“So, not having been shortlisted or appointed for the position of DPP was part of the possible outcomes of my application, and I have no regrets for having applied,” he stated.
Armed with three university degrees, the lawyer maintained that he was qualified for the job which required a law degree and at least 15 years of service.
“The minimum academic qualification was one law/university degree. I had three. The second one was at least 15 years of legal practice or experience. I have 28 years of legal practice experience in good standing.

“The third was clearance certificates from HELB (Higher Education Loans Board), DCI (Directorate of Criminal Investigations), EACC (Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission), and a credit union. I had all of them. Plus three letters of recommendation from solid professionals. I’m focused like a laser beam,” he added.
The Public Service Commission (PSC), which is conducting the hiring process, released the names of shortlisted candidates of which lawyer Danstan Omari was a part of.
Other candidates were Taib Ali Taib, Tabitha Wanyama, David Kiplagat Ruto, Jacob Ondari, James Ndegwa, David Okachi and Renson Ingonga.
Miguna had submitted his application on July 11 seeking to become the next DPP, a position previously held by Noordin Haji who has since been appointed the National Intelligence Service (NIS) Director General.
