Canadian based Kenyan lawyer and author Miguna Miguna has once again been denied entry into Kenya.
Miguna Miguna, a political thorn in the flesh for President Uhuru Kenyatta and his newfound ally Raila Odinga, a former Kenyan Prime Minister and leader of opposition party, ODM, was deported back to Canada for swearing in Odinga as the “People’s President” following the chaotic 2017 election in which Kenyatta was declared the winner.
“Berlin Brandenburg International Airport. Being refused boarding on flight AF836 Air France due to Red Alerts received from Despot Uhuru Kenyatta@StateHouse Kenya this morning. They fear me because they are extremely weak and unpopular.” He stated on his social media pages.
“I will never surrender no matter how fearful, desperate, brutal and childish you become. I will keep speaking the truth forever.” He added
The Kenyan state maintains that Miguna Miguna, born and bred in Kenya, is a Canadian and must apply again to be granted Kenyan citizenship, but political observers believe this is a classic case of political witch hunt. They point out that Kenyan constitution allows dual citizenship.
Miguna Miguna sought asylum to Canada in the 1990s while a student at the University of Nairobi following brutality that was being meted out on political dissidents by then Kenya Africa National Union (KANU) regime.
He came back to Kenya following the defeat by KANU in 2002 rising politically to serve as Adviser to Prime Minister in 2008.
