Miguna Miguna's Speech in the US that Could Be the Reason for His Second Deportation
It has now emerged that under-siege lawyer Miguna Miguna's plan that he revealed while on his global tour to popularize National Resistance Movement (NRM) in the United States could the reason why the Kenyan government denied him entry into the country.
While addressing his supporters at a hotel in Dallas, Texas on March 10th, a day after the unity pact between President Uhuru and Opposition leader Raila Odinga, the self-declared NRM general outlined a plan of bringing 5 million people to the streets of Nairobi to out muscle the government security agencies and "snatch power" from President Kenyatta.
“They have 350,000 armed men in the military, police, the General Service Unit, and the Prisons," Miguna stated.
“So the formula is easy; I will bring five million men and women to the streets of Nairobi. You can’t shoot that. That’s why they didn’t shoot in The Philippines, Zimbabwe, Ivory Coast, and Burkina Faso. That’s how revolutions happen,” he disclosed.
He said after the plan, President "Uhuru would take a flight to Congo".
In his speech, Miguna also castigated National Super Alliance (Nasa) leader Raila Odinga over his decision to work with President Uhuru terming it a betrayal to his supporters and the fight against injustices.
“And what does Miguna need? His mouth, and his head. And then you give me a platform, and I rally my boys, whether you like it or not,” the self-styled General told an excited crowd.
After arriving at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on Monday last week, the former Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant was denied entry into the country by Immigration authorities and was deported to Dubai about 72 hours later.
Miguna stayed in Dubai from Thursday morning, where he was taken ill after claiming that he had been tranquilized with an unknown substance at JKIA before before being kicked out.
He allegedly left Dubai on Sunday night and landed in Toronto, Canada on Monday, one of his lawyers, Nelson Havi said in a tweet.
"(He) travelled to and arrived in Toronto, Canada. He will undergo toxicology tests and treatment for the chemicals used to sedate and poison him. He will return thereafter," Mr Havi posted on Twitter.
