The government set the stage for exiled lawyer, Miguna Miguna's, much-anticipated return from Canada on Tuesday, January 7, 2020, via Lufthansa Flight LH 590.
On Monday, December 30, Government Spokesperson Rt. Col. Cyrus Oguna argued that Miguna would be granted entry into the country but on strict conditions.
According to Oguna, Miguna should adhere to the rule of law and present credible travelling documents upon his arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
“All his travel papers must be right and valid.
“(Then) he will not be denied entry. All his papers must be right and valid as per the travel regulations. We are governed by the rule of law,” Oguna informed Daily Nation.
On December 19, 2019, Miguna affirmed that he had the right to return to Kenya and urged the government to respect court orders granted for his safe return.
"There is absolutely no law that compels a citizen to produce a passport upon entry into his or her country of citizenship, more particularly after agents of the same state demanding the production of the passport are the same individuals who illegally seized, confiscated and destroyed my passport in flagrant disobedience of multiple court orders and egregious violations of my rights.
"Upon my arrival at the JKIA on January 7, 2020, the duty will be upon President Kenyatta's regime to obey the multiple court orders, especially that of Justice Mwita on December 14, 2018, and unconditionally grant me entry or issue/return my valid Kenyan passport. Viva!," Miguna declared.
His return is set to spark more drama following his acrimonious deportation in 2018.
After his deportation, Miguna Miguna resorted to social media to air his views about the state of affairs in Kenya taking his criticism a notch higher and sparing no one across the political divide.
