Miguna Miguna Speaks After His Dramatic Deportation to Canada
Former Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant Miguna Miguna has vowed to fight his way back to Kenya following his dramatic deportationto Canada by government on Tuesday evening.
Taking to Twitter moments after he was put on the plane at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), the lawyer confirmed he had been deported, but vowed to challenge the decision by the state.
"The despots have put me in a flight to Amsterdam enroute to Toronto, departure time right now." "Instead of taking me to court as ordered repeatedly by the courts, they seized my passports and drove me to the runaway at the JKIA from 6pm up to now," Miguna said in a tweet moments before he left JKIA.
In a strongly worded statement sent to newsrooms from Amsterdam, Miguna insisted he is a Kenyan citizen and has never even thought of renouncing his Kenyan citizenship.
“I have never, ever renounced my Kenyan citizenship and will never do that. I’ve never even contemplated it."
“Even if one had intended to deport me anywhere for whatever reasons, there are well laid legal procedures that must be followed and fundamental rights that must be upheld but which Matiang’i and his illegitimate thugs have violated,” said Miguna.
“The constitution is crystal clear: no one can invalidate or purport to cancel the citizenship of a Kenyan born citizen. So, Matiang’i has no authority – and I didn’t request him – to “take me home” as he shamelessly claimed."
“I have instructed a battery of competent advocates to ensure that the ongoing rogue purveyors of impunity are brought to book. They are not above the law, even though they behave as if they are,” said Miguna.
The self-declared National Super Alliance's National Resistance Movement (NRM) "general" was placed into a KLM flight that left Nairobi at around 11pm, Tuesday. Miguna was arrested on Friday at his home in Runda estate in Nairobi and remained in police custody for several days, despite court ordering he be freed on a Sh50,000 cash bail. Police said Miguna was arrested in connection to the swearing-in of Nasa leader Raila Odinga, being a member of NRM, which was recently declared a criminal group and being part of an illegal assembly.

Hahaha! Majuto ni mjukuu! A self-declared terrorist out to harm Kenyans. Go live where there are no laws. I hope Canada sends you away too!
Not possible .No human being is stateless and Miguna will find a way back to Kenya.Matiangi as usual throwing his weight around and pretending he is above the law. Government attempt to put a bandaid in a festering wound.Temporary solution to please the masses will not work.
Send Raila to Migingo Island!!
Then Uhuru should be sent to Mt. Kenya. And Ole Kiyapi to Nairobi the Maasailand before Colonialism. Right?
Mt Kenya is self sustaining all round, Migingo not so much , I'm sure Uhuru would be just fine.
Currently, President Uhuru is surrounded by people who are so scared of him that they cannot tell him the truth. Lately, His Excellency is embarrassing the people of Kenya all over the world.
SOLUTION: In future, anybody vying for an elective office should pass a test based on our New Constitution. We have members of the executive and legislative who are illiterate when it comes to understanding the laws of the nation. In addition, all the secretaries appointed by the president must also pass the constitution test.
Dr. Matiangi is currently the "president of Kenya." We saw him last year declare a holiday when members of the high court were supposed to meet and decide on a crucial vote about the election the following day. The high court had no quorum and were left paralyzed.
If His Excellency Dr. Matiangi had passed a test on our constitution, he would not have embarrassed the members of the executive following the decisions that he made to overrule the high court during the last five days. In addition, all police officers must also pass this test. That way, they can defy members of the executive trying to force upon them "self-made" Matiangi unjust laws.
Instead of talking about the problems that afflict our beautiful country, we should focus on finding solutions.
"Come baby, come!! He did Miguna, he did.... hope bibi has not booted you to the dog house! Well...I can see another book coming up....see, one door closes, another one opens. Raila was never your blessing but your curse. Anytime you as much dared breath the same air as him, you have always come up covered in hives. You are allergic to the guy, you just don't know it yet! Look where he has landed you this time. I say: Run, baby run!
Good riddance Miguna. You thought that you were untouchable. Good riddance. You are a Canadian citizen. Be gone.
At one point Miguna was looking and sounding more tough than the 'despots'. Government just reasserted itself after the self- styled general invited them to a fight... Not sorry for you at all. I also expect government, any government, to be ruthless with me if I break the law as he did. He is not special.
