Miguna: Why I Declined to Surrender My Canadian Passport at the JKIA

Miguna: Why I Declined to Surrender My Canadian Passport at the JKIA

Deported lawyer Miguna Miguna has explained why he refused to hand over his Canadian passport when he landed at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on March 26th.

In a statement to newsrooms from Canada on Monday, the self-declared National Resistance Movement (NRM) general said he only traveled to Toronto for medical checkups after the Jubilee regime "poisoned" him before kicking him out of the country on Wednesday last week.

He vowed to return to Kenya once he is given a clean bill of health by doctors in Canada.

“Today, I have arrived in Ontario, Canada in order to undergo specialized toxicology tests and medical treatment following my illegal and violent abduction, torture and chemical poisoning by the tyrannical Jubilee regime,” said Dr Miguna defiantly in a statement on his official Facebook page.

“After my medical treatment abroad I intend to immediately return to Kenya and to continue the struggle for a better and just society that we Kenyans have been yearning for 55 years,” He added.

He also rubbished reports on the media that he traveled from Dubai using his Canadian passport.

“I refused to use hand over my Canadian passport to the tyrants in Kenya because I arrived in Kenya on March 26th as a Kenyan born citizen. This is not a case of which travel documents I use or have used to seek emergency and specialized medical attention,” he said.

He traveled to Canada aboard Air Canada flight number AC 057 from Dubai’s DXB Airport on Monday at 12:30am. He was bundled out of the country by Kenyan Immigration authorities about 72 hours after landing at the JKIA on March 26th.
