In a sharp statement, Miguna argued that Kenya cannot move forward by ignoring alleged wrongdoing committed by leaders who previously held power.
Miguna accused Uhuru, members of his family and their associates of benefiting from public resources during their time in government.
He also accused them of being linked to abuses against civilians. These are serious allegations made by Miguna, and he called for accountability rather than silence.
His remarks have revived debate about how Kenya should deal with its political past.
Responding to the message about looking ahead, Miguna said there could be no meaningful future without addressing what happened before.
He argued that those responsible for past and present atrocities must face the law, while public funds allegedly taken from the country should be recovered.
He also insisted that victims of injustice deserve justice and recognition.
The lawyer further warned that Kenya would continue struggling if citizens kept supporting leaders he believes contributed to poverty, inequality and poor living conditions.
In his view, national progress requires more than speeches about unity or a fresh start.
It must also involve investigating wrongdoing, protecting citizens and ensuring that powerful people are not treated differently from ordinary Kenyans.
Miguna concluded that the country must deal with perpetrators from the past, present and future if it hopes to build a prosperous society.
His response sets up a sharp contrast between calls to focus on the future and demands to first confront unresolved issues.
The exchange is likely to keep the question of accountability in the public debate, especially as Kenyans consider what lessons should be carried forward for ordinary Kenyan families too.
