He emphasized clause 5 which he claimed was intended to give them a blanket indemnity one minute before the show kicked off. 

Miguna Miguna claimed that he had never been required to sign such a form in any of his previous interviews.

“I’ve appeared on TV and radio for the past 30 years but not once has a media house including Standard Kenya asked me to sign a blanket indemnity form. Spice FM has never asked any of its previous guests to sign the ridiculous form they tried to force on me,” Miguna Miguna stated.
