Self-styled National Resistance Movement (NRM) leader Miguna Miguna landed in Toronto, Canada from Berlin, Germany on Thursday, January 23.
Miguna revealed that he faced no challenges making the trip as he did in his two failed attempts to board flights to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi, Kenya.
"Just arrived in Toronto from Berlin. No "red alerts" in Asia, Europe and North America. Thanks to freedom fighters from all over the world for their solidarity during my 2-years of torture and exile. I will never surrender to cowards like Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga," Miguna tweeted after arrival.
His lawyer John Khaminwa spoke to Kenyans.co.ke revealing their planned next step after the Attorney-General in a written opinion submitted in court claimed Miguna's woes were of his own making.
Justice John Mativo had ordered the AG Paul Kihara Kariuki to shed light on the state's alleged disregard of at least 18 court orders in the matter of Miguna Miguna.
In his opinion submitted on Tuesday, January 21, Kariuki stated that Miguna had failed to renew his passport at a Kenyan diplomatic office making it difficult to facilitate his re-entry.
Khaminwa, however, dismissed the arguments telling this writer they would initiate contempt of court proceedings against all respondents in the Miguna case including the AG and Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i as soon as Monday, January 27.
"We will file contempt of court proceedings against all the respondents including the Attorney-General. I'll be in court early next week.
"What the country is doing to Miguna is immoral, completely immoral! He may have his weaknesses but that's not an excuse to keep him out of the country at all. Kenya is not for perfect people," the veteran lawyer fumed.
He claimed that the disobedience of court orders would come back to haunt the government, blasting the Attorney-General for failing to uphold the constitution.
"There will be a time when the Executive will want court orders to be obeyed, they cannot expect other people to obey court orders when they themselves cannot obey court orders. If you don't obey court orders, you are running down the rule of law in the country.
"Non-compliance of court orders has never been part of the legal culture of Kenya at all and let Miguna's case not be a precedent," he added.
With the airlines which rejected Miguna from their flights citing requests from Kenyan authorities, Khaminwa maintained that the government's assertion that they had no hand in Miguna's woes was false.
"The issue here is of obedience of court orders which the judges have made including the Court of Appeal. It is up to the Attorney General to ensure that these orders are being upheld, we have to uphold the rule of law in the country," he asserted.
Miguna vowed not to relent in his quest to return the country as he settled back in Canada.
"The sycophants can bleat and shout all they want but I will remain unshaken, focused and committed to the struggle for justice, liberty and equality of all Kenyans.
"The struggle will and must continue because, in the end, justice shall triumph over injustice, evil and tyranny," he wrote.
