Controversial lawyer and self-declared National Resistance Movement (NRM) General Miguna Miguna is set to return to Kenya from Canada on Wednesday next week.
However, in what may end up being a looming showdown, the layer has vowed that he will not fill the forms that the Interior Cabinet Secretary (CS) Fred Matiangi indicated were the only he would regularize citizenship.
In his opinion, filling out the forms would amount to assisting the government in invalidating court orders that the courts issued in his favor.

Besides, Miguna through his Twitter handle indicated that the forms would allow the government to negate his rights to live and work in Kenya as a Kenyan.
Lastly, he opined that the move would give President Uhuru Kenyatta's government the power to remove him from Kenya at will.
In consideration of the three arguments, Miguna concluded that he will not fill out the forms.
The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNHCR) through its Chairperson Kagwiria Mbogori has asked the government to facilitate Miguna's travel back into the country as ordered by the High Court.
In a letter addressed to the immigration Principal Secretary Gordon Kihalagwa and Immigration Director, KNHRC called on the government to issue Miguna with his Kenyan passport as well as buy him an air ticket from Toronto to Nairobi ahead of his arrival on May 16.
The commission also asked the government to issue access cards to its commissioners allowing them to meet the Canada-based barrister upon his arrival at the JKIA.

As at the time of publishing this article, the government was yet to respond which portends a possible showdown at the airport similar to the one that culminated in Miguna being forcibly deported to Canada.
