Former Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant Miguna Miguna has taken a swipe at Canada over its silence when he was detained in Kenya for five days before being dramatically deported to Canada by Immigration authorities.
Speaking during an interview with Canadian news website, The Globe and Mail, Miguna claimed that officials at Canadian High Commission in Nairobi refused to offer him with consular assistance when he was being detained illegally.
"It's a big failure because they needed to scream, they needed to make noise. They needed to do something drastic and they never did," he condemned.
"They [Canadian officials] have not spoken with me," Miguna told the media.
The self-declared National Resistance Movement general further said that his wife - Jane, kept pushing the Canadian officials to come to his rescue, but they declined to share any information with her.
In defense, a senior Canadian government official who spoke to the same media said that authorities tried to rescue Miguna, but it proved hard as Kenyan authorities refused to disclose where the lawyer was being detained.
The official further noted that Canadian government considered Miguna's case high-profile, due to its political nature.
Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland in a statement on Wednesday said that Canada was "deeply concerned" by the Kenyan government's arrest of opposition leaders and the shutdown of some media outlets.
"We urge the government of Kenya to uphold its constitution, to allow freedom of expression and to respect court orders, including those that order the release of those granted bail," Ms. Freeland said.

Miguna is an idiot who really thinks that just because he has Canadian passport wazungus will jump to his rescue even though he was born in magina village in kisumu. If he was a "Jason" or "Luke" with blond hair then that would be different. But Miguna you are black, a Luo, and possess the fat wide African nose. Sorry that's how the world goes.
When will Miguna Miguna learn to keep his mouth shut. He brought all those problems to himself by his buggy mouth. He might put himself more problems in Canada. He used late Kajwang to get Kenya passport illegally in 2009.
The boastful fool got exactly what he deserves. STOP blaming Canada for your own foolishness. You claimed to be a General in NRM, not a General in Canadian Army. You have only yourself to blame for foolishly following a crazy madman like a blind sheep. Now carry your own cross of foolishness and SHUT THE HECK UP!!!
This man attracts enemies like flies to the toilet! Just read a newspaper article on Miguna x2 in which he allegedly went to Kenya to escape bankrupcy, having been sued for rape x 2. He then counter sued, hence the money deficit. He also stands at risk of losing his practice license. He allegedly got off on a legal technicality as one has to be found guilty beyond any doubt in Canada. His key witness was a family member. As with discrimination, rape cases emphasize the onus on the victim, so no surprises there. Not a liked person by Canadians as he allegedly launches attacks at anyone who challenges him. I once said his refugee status should be reviewed given his criminal mind and I stand by that. Lakini where will he be deported to? If I was the Canadians, I would investigate his assets in Kenya against any monies owed in Canada, then send the cleaners after him! No mercy for the likes of him. No wonder he was drooling over Passaris on Jeff Koinange's show, most likely wishing she was a helpless asylum seeker in his office he could use his power over! Taka taka mbele ya duka!!! Kenya ndio imekua ya kula makopo?
Jubilee supporters are communists and should stop disturbing Miguna×2.
Secession is what we need in Kenya.
People Republic of Kenya which is a Democratic Nation cannot co-exist with Communist,despotic Central Republic of Kenya.Commies need their own country.
Which elected leader in luoland has openly defied Raila Odinga? Have at it and create a majority luo country. Democracy indeed. I was in Lavington earlier today and ran into several Southern Sudanese. They did secede alright and cannot stand the pig sty of country they created - and they have oil. Luos have been so conditioned to politick, they have abandoned economic activities leading to fish being imported from China.
Wow sued for rape x2. This is serious stuff. At this rate, Miguna will find himself persona non grata.
I had pretty much ignored the "general". ,but now with this explosive revelation, I will now dig further into his background.Thanks to the invent of the internet.And ofcourse I expect his defenders to deflect any negative light shown on their general.
Regardless of miguna's alleged crimes the government of jubilee/mungiki/chongororo violated the kenya CONSTITUTION. Any one regarded of the crimes committed is entitled to DUE PROCESS. Miguna was denied his Due Process. This so government of kenya defied 5 HIGH COURT ODDERS OVER MIGUNA and deported him unconstitutionally! WHO IS THE CRImiNAL HERE?
AND BY THE WAY THE ONLY OPERATING LAW IN KENYA IS THE CONSTITUTION OF 2010 SO THESE DESPOTS CAN NOT REVERT TO THE OLD NULL AND VOID KANU KATIBA WHICH WAS ECLIPSED BY THE PEOPLES KATIBA OF 2010. Miguna is coming back to kenya by operation of Law.
unconsitutionally
Screaming, using caps, does not negate the fact that Miguna violated the constitution. He didn't reapply for citizenship per the new constitution. Tina Turner is no longer a US citizen as she denounced it in favor of a Swiss one. If she wanted to reapply, it's up to the US government to say yay or nay. Of all people, migunas legal background should have being an asset in directing him to the right steps. Apparently, he has bigger personal problems to attend to in Canada.
Canada,US,UK and basically Western Envoys are supporting Communist Jubilee party of Kenya.
I have no words.
@Ndugu Bingu: I like your excellent summary of the past events not based on EMOTIONS but LOGIC. You must be an iconoclast. These are few gifted people who bring positive and non-violent changes in the world by thinking rationally above the normal people. Thank you.
We must follow the example set by the executive branch of our government. Anytime any Kenyan is summoned by the court, s/he should ignore the court and if asked why? Tell the court that you are following "the executive branch of the government's approach" to court summons.
Canada needs to deport him too to somewhere but not Kenya.
Mbingu, the point is, Miguna is not like any Tom, Dick and Harry! Ana kichaa for a Lawyer. How does one go globe hopping around in the current digital world we live today, Payuka payuka kama kuku anataka kutega mayai yet knowing his linen is not fit to be aired in public? Like I said, we are not the dumping ground the rejects. He should be stripped of his licence (which if already revoked would make Raila's oath invalid although in my view, it is not worth the paper it is printed on!). He is a trouble maker. The west are not reactive but take their time, dish the dirt and act. I anticipate this guy has dug his own grave, so to speak!

I abhore violence,and I do not support discrimination of all forms.I would like Kenya to go back to that state of relative peace and tranquility.And Iam sure sound minded Kenyans would agree with me on this.
I acknowledge that Uhuru is the president of Kenya,and rightfully elected by the majority-twice.I wish him continued success,and would love for all Kenyans to support him in all his projects.However, if his regime is not following the constitution,then we have a problem.This is unless somewhere in the law it states that,the constitution could be suspended at times,or disregarded.
Now if Canada claims that Jubilee is not adhering to the constitution it promulgated,and passed in to law;a mere observation.Why should we overreact?
If Canada's allegations are not true,then we have nothing to worry about . Do we?
I am happy now kina Kalonzo,Wetangula,Mudavadi wamewekwa kado na mungu wao muuaji Raila.But i am also surprised that no one is bothering to find out the intentions of terrorist Miguna & Co.Does anybody expect the Kenyan or any other govt to let Miguna and Raila overthrow the govt?MAMBO BADO.PAYUKENI TU.
Canada is no dummy, they knew the reckless role Miguna Miguna played in the unconstitutional swearing in of opposition leader and election loser Raila Odinga as well as his self proclaimed role as the General of NRM whose stated objective is the overthrow of democratically elected government of Kenya. According to Kenyan officials Canadian embassy did ask for “their Miguna” and that was one of the reasons the Kenyan officials decided to deport Miguna back to Canada to meet embassy request
Miguna Miguna cannot take even a second to thank Canada for taking him back & giving him asylum. That sense of entitlement and arrogance will put him into more trouble. Ungrateful dude
Jaluo is always a jaluo So Guys Kwani hamjui hawa river lake nilotes???Canada gave u somewhere to sleep n dine when u wanted the u have started talking shit about them!Jamaa adepotiwe Cuba or Haiti!There is a government n this raila idiots need to know that other hauwezi shidana na ndovu kumia (to shit)
'Jaluo ni jaluo tu'...that statement tells alot about inner character of uaself as a human being..politics aside
I will never understand why any one would waste his breath on an empty ndebe like Migunax2. A guy so stupidly full of himself that it does not make any sense. He brushes everyone he comes across the wrong. The only reason Raila entertains Miguna is only because he himself is too desperate. Desperation kicks in when you die to be what you cannot be.
Listen to the actual interview that Miguna had with the CBC
