The government through the Directorate of Immigration Services on Monday, January 6, issued a statement confirming that it would facilitate Miguna Miguna's return.
The government declared, "This is to confirm that in compliance with the court orders issued on December 14th, 2018, the Directorate will facilitate Dr Miguna's re-entry into Kenya."
This came after the Justice Weldon Korir issued several orders seeking to ensure the National Resistance Movement (NRM) leader Miguna Miguna's scheduled return to the country on Tuesday, January 7, was not interfered with.
Miguna's lawyer John Khaminwa had moved to court to have Miguna protected from state heavy-handedness as was witnessed at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) when the fiery lawyer last tried to return on March 26th, 2018.
"The court issued an order restraining senior state officials or their agents from interfering in any way whatsoever with the petitioner's entry into Kenya on January 7 or any other date," Khaminwa told Kenyans.co.ke moments after the hearing.
Respondents in the case included Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i, the Immigration Director and the JKIA Police boss.
The court ordered that the government allow Miguna re-entry with his National Identity card and also present him with his passport.
Khaminwa disclosed that he would be at JKIA to welcome Miguna, with the court also having issued another order guaranteeing him access to his client. Officials from the Kenya National Commission of Human Rights (KHNCR) will also be present.
