Former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale on Tuesday took action on Canadian Government following the arrest and detention of self-declared NRM general, Miguna Miguna, who has dual citizenship.
The Deputy Party leader of Ford Kenya made a call to Canada administration to inquire on the matter of Miguna after his earlier criticism on the government's failure to act regarding their citizen.
He explained that the Canadian Embassy professed their knowledge on the charges Miguna is facing in Kenya but declined to indicate the action it's taking against the ongoing case.
"I've just called & talked to a Ms Fiona, the Consular Department manager, who has confirmed to me that they are aware of the matter of their Canadian citizen by the name of Miguna Miguna, but declined to disclose exactly what it is that they are doing about it!," he stated through his Twitter account.

On Monday, Khalwale had criticised the western nation over its failure to pressurize for the release of the former Nairobi Gubernatorial candidate.
"My understanding is that our brother, Miguna Miguna holds a dual Kenya/Canadian citizenship.
"Even if they cared less about us Kenyans, at least the western world should've pressurized for the immediate release of a Canadian. Hypocrites!," he stated through his Twitter account.
Miguna who was charged with Treason in Kajiado court on Tuesday had been dramatically arrested and detained last week over allegations that he was involved in the controversial swearing-in of NASA leader Raila Odinga.
Appearing in court on Tuesday, the self-declared NRM leader refused to take a plea and instead asked to be presented before Judge Luka Kimaru of the Milimani Law Courts in Nairobi.

While leaving the courtroom, Miguna stated: Fearless, it does not matter what they do."
