Miguna Miguna Says Raila Approved His Second Deportation

Self-declared National Resistance Movement (NRM) general Miguna Miguna has once again blamed Opposition leader Raila Odinga for his last week forceful removal from the country by Kenyan Immigration authorities.

Miguna was last week thrown out of Kenya after being held at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) for more than 72 hours. Speaking during an interview with NewsMakers on TRT World, the exiled lawyer accused President Kenyatta of issuing orders for his removal from the country.

Miguna also claimed that National Super Alliance (Nasa) leader Odinga supported the orders by the President, following their unity pact, which he alleged has compromised the former Prime Minister.

"This order could only come from the President himself and I suspect also those ones he has entered into deal with. The reason why I say this is it is not easy for a Cabinet Minister or a bureaucrat to disobey not just one court order but 11 court orders," he asserted.

Miguna further maintained that he was drugged before being unconsciously put into a Dubai-bound Emirates airline flight. He said that he rejected attempts to force him to enter Kenya on a tourist Visa, stating that it would have restricted him from carrying out his political activities.

"What they were trying to do was to make me return to Kenya as a foreigner, a Canadian so that I could not continue to lead the NRM. So that I could not participate n political activities, so that I could not earn a living so that I could not live a free life and they could decide to return, detain remove anytime they wanted," he said during the NewsMaker interview.

Miguna has since returned to Canada for treatment after drugging claims, and has vowed to come back to Kenya once doctors give him a clean bill of health.
