Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria on Wednesday, January 8, stated that former Prime Minister Raila Odinga was behind Miguna Miguna's tribulations.
Speaking during a press conference at Parliament Buildings, Kuria stated that President Uhuru Kenyatta had nothing to do with Miguna's frustrations as he tried to jet back into the country.
"The president talked about allowing Miguna in the country during the late Rubia's burial and he meant every word of it. I have information that the person who is behind Miguna's tribulations is Raila Odinga," Kuria opined.
Kuria further requested the government to obey court orders and allow him back in the country.
Miguna, during his second attempt to return to Kenya, was disembarked under unclear circumstances, moments after he boarded an Air France flight destined for Nairobi.
His first flight with Lufthansa, meant to land in Nairobi at 9.25 pm on Tuesday, January 7, was aborted.
The government, through a press release on Wednesday, January 8, revealed why the controversial lawyer was suffering embarrassment in his much-anticipated return to Kenya.
Government Spokesman Cyrus Oguna stated that Miguna was categorized as an unruly passenger on March 18, 2018, in line with Annex 17 of the International Civil Authority Organisation standards.
"The matter of the travel to Kenya of Dr.Miguna Miguna has drawn a lot of interest in the media and the general public. The picture being painted is that the government is frustrating him.
"His behaviour on March 18 was seen to have the potential of threatening category A1 status of JKIA which took the country a lot of effort and work to achieve," part of the statement read.
Oguna explained that the exiled lawyer could only board a flight to Kenya by presenting his identification and travel documents which could be issued at Kenyan missions abroad.
"Dr Miguna is free to present himself to any Kenyan mission to obtain his passport. It is, however, puzzling that Dr.Miguna has not made an effort to obtain his passport from any of the missions.
"Nevertheless, our missions abroad are ready and willing to assist him to get his documents once he presents himself," he concluded.
