Miguna Miguna Launches Fresh Bid for Return Trip to Kenya
Opposition politician Miguna Miguna has moved to court seeking to have the government ordered to grant him entry into the country.
In a case lodged on Friday, Miguna pleads with the court to issue fresh orders to the State asking it to grant him unconditional entry into Kenya.
This come two days after the embattled lawyer cancelled his trip to Kenya on Wednesday, citing refusal by the Immigration Department to issue him with a Kenyan passport as earlier directed by the court.
In the application, the former Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant wants the court to order the State to surrender his perforated Kenyan passport to the Kenya National Commission Human Rights(KNCHR).
Through his attorney John Khaminwa, Miguna says the human rights body would then present the document to him at the Immigration desk on the day he decides to return to Kenya.
He further accuses the State, Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i and Immigration Department of disregarding court orders.
“The Government is deliberately seeking and acting to impede and obstruct the ability of the court to administer justice effectively or at all to hear and determine the petition expeditiously,” reads the petition that was filed at the Milimani Law Court.

The moment you denounced and were sworn in as a Canadian citizen you lost your Kenyan citizenship. How long do you want this fact to be repeated to you dunderhead? All you need is to do is fill out a few forms and you become a dual citizen and then apply for a Kenyan passport. But your ego cannot allow you to do that. Instead of wasting your time in court led by Khaminwa who is feeding out of your ignorance, just do that simple exercise. But it seems like your pride has taken the better of you. Hundreds of Kenyans did it without giving a hoot. Are you more equal than the rest of us? Are there some of us who are above the law? What kind of precedence are you setting for the young? No more questions.

I couldn't have said it better. Excellent advise Mr. Joe Kamande but I wonder his ego will let him listen to you. Miguna is such a retard He need to grow up and realize he is not dealing with the same type of people he exploited and incited during last year's general election. He is now dealing with professionals like Dr. Matiangi who is in the Security docket and intellectuals like Dr. Koni Hanene who keeps him in check in the social media arena.

Any judge involved in this mess is ignorant of the law and has no business calling himself/herself a judge and should resign on grounds of lack of knowledge on the rule of law.

Joe Kamande, "Amka Kumekucha." Let us learn from the rest of the world. Israel has the best policy of respecting anyone with "Jewish Blood and Ancestry." Why not Kenya?
As far as the Israel is concerned, it does not matter where you were born or the country of residence. If you have Jewish blood in you, you are an automatic Israel citizen.
I would like to see Matiangi, Kiharangua and Boinnetti arrested and imprisoned for a lengthy period of time for defying the court orders about Miguna Miguna.
Believe me, I don't understand why the "three thugs" have not been fired and arrested for the treatment that they subjected a natural born citizen of Kenya Miguna Miguna.
He had a valid Kenya ID and a passport issued by the government of Kenya. The man he assisted to administer the oath of office Raila is living happily in Kenya unlike the man who administered the oath of office.
President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, you are above the law. You have the power to order the three criminals (Matiangi, Kiharangua, and Boinnettti) be arrested for defying the court orders and issue Miguna Miguna a new passport of Kenya and an airline ticket to facilitate his returning back home to his motherland. Make history by correcting the mess that happened last year during the election. have the courage to give Miguna a handshake similar to the one you gave to your new brother Raila Odinga.

@Amadiba, Uhuru and Raila handshake DID NOT rewrite the law. Please read @Kamande's post above to understand what people are talking about. It is all well for Isreal to do what they do because that is what THEIR law says. Kenyan law requires those who gained citizenship of other countries prior to 2010 promulgation of the new constitution to re-apply to gain it back. Period. As a lawyer, Miguna should know that. You on the other hand, we can forgive for ignorance.

@Ben, it is very interesting to note that problems with Miguna started after he swore in Baba and not when he ran for governor of NRB. The timing itself shows there is ulterior motive. The problem I have seen with our thinking is we are not able to separate the man from the law. Personally I could careless about Miguna ropokaring all day long but what I see is a Kenyan whose rights were violated and continue to be violated. We need to be guardians of our OWN Constitution and distance ourselves from emotions. Miguna had a Kenyan passport which should have been taken away ...before he even ran for Nrb governor seat. The timing speaks volumes, it is evil and cruel. Miguna is a true Kenyan.

@Ben. Israel laws are human and superior to the laws of Kenya in terms of immigration. Have you forgotten that Miguna had a valid Kenya passport before the criminals and state thugs Kihalangwa, Matiangi and Bonnetti snatched it, and defied the court?
Have you forgotten how Miguna was treated at the airport? As the late Mahatma Gandhi of India (himself a lawyer) once said, there are unjust men as there are unjust laws. Kenyan laws in area of natural born Kenyans are not only unjust, but also inhuman!

@Amadiba and @Mugikuyu, I agree with you both. @Amadiba it is true the law to strip on of citizenship was unjust. That is why it was fixed in 2010. @Mugikuyu, Miguna should have been barred from contesting the governorship as a holder of a foreign passport since the law says one cannot be a dual citizen... But Kenya is a politicians haven. You can get away with bending the law so long as you are a politician. Miguna needs to follow the law - bad asvit may be - to realize his travel dreams. The law is an ass as they say...
