An elaborate plan to kick President Uhuru Kenyatta out of office that was revealed by National Resistance Movement (NRM) General Miguna Miguna in Dallas, Texas could have been behind his second deportation following his return to Kenya on March 26.
Addressing a crowd in a hotel room on March 10, a day after the handshake between Uhuru and Raila Odinga, he outlined a plan to bring 5 million people to Nairobi who would overpower the armed forces and other government machinery.
“They have 350,000 armed men in the military, police, the General Service Unit, and the Prisons.
“So the formula is easy; I will bring five million men and women to the streets of Nairobi. You can’t shoot that. That’s why they didn’t shoot in The Philippines, Zimbabwe, Ivory Coast, and Burkina Faso. That’s how revolutions happen,” he disclosed.
He promised that once he rallied the people, "Uhuru would take a flight to Congo".

Miguna had also hit out at Raila for the handshake, terming it a betrayal of the struggle and declaring that he would take over the leadership of the Resistance movement.
He affirmed that the handshake would not water down the NRM, and vowed to rally Kenyans to overcome the government machinery.
“And what does Miguna need?
“His mouth, and his head. And then you give me a platform, and I rally my boys, whether you like it or not,” the self-styled General told an excited crowd.
Miguna was put on a plane to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) after he refused to have his Canadian passport stamped maintaining that he was a Kenyan citizen, brandishing court orders and demanding that he be issued with a Kenyan passport as the Government had been directed to do.
The government's official position, however, was that it was his refusal to fill citizenship application forms that caused his deportation.
