Miguna Miguna's New Attempt to Restore his Citizenship

Controversial lawyer, Miguna Miguna, on Monday filed a lawsuit seeking for the reinstatement of his Kenyan citizenship.

The self-declared National Resistance Movement (NRM) general made the move through his lawyer Nelson Havi.

Miguna maintained that he wanted the court to compel the Immigration Department to restore his passport and allow his re-entry into the country.

The embattled lawyer had earlier on issued several statements in which he remarked that an individual's citizenship by birth cannot be revoked.

After he was deported from Kenya last week, the fiery lawyer stated he was going to fight the grievous violation of his rights by the Jubilee regime.

"The despots have put me in a flight to Amsterdam en route to Toronto, departure time right now," Miguna stated.

He added: "Instead of taking me to court as ordered repeatedly by the courts, they seized my passports and drove me to the runaway at the JKIA."

The Department of Immigration, through Director Gordon Kihalangwa, however, maintained that Miguna was a Canadian and not a Kenyan.

Kihalangwa, in his affidavit which was ordered by the court, argued that Miguna had fled the country as a political refugee and was illegally issued a passport when he was the former Prime Minister's advisor.

The immigration boss further maintained that though Miguna was born on December 31, 1962, in Nyando, Kisumu, he fled to Ottawa in Canada as a political refugee.
