Lawyer Paul Mwangi revealed that Raila Odinga deliberately chose not to sue critics like Miguna Miguna, despite pressure, prioritizing national unity and freedom of expression over personal defamation battles.

• Raila Odinga viewed criticism as part of public life and a cost of leadership.
• Paul Mwangi served as Raila Odinga's long-time legal adviser.
• The only time Raila Odinga came close to suing was in response to remarks by then-Garissa Township MP Aden Duale, but the case was never fully pursued.
• Paul Mwangi praised Miguna Miguna's diligence and loyalty while within the Office of the Prime Minister.
