High Court Declines to Suspend Gov't Order for Deportation of Miguna Miguna

The High Court on Tuesday declined to suspend government order that saw former Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant Miguna Miguna deported to Canada by Kenyan Immigration authorities last week.

Justice Chacha Mwita refused to grant Miguna the order, where he was seeking suspension of the order to banish him out of the country, and directed the Attorney General to file a response to petition before Thursday, which will enable the court to give proper directions.

The self-declared National Super Alliance's National Resistant Movement (NRM) general moved to court on Monday seeking to have the Jubilee government ordered to facilitate his unconditional return.

Miguna's application has been opposed by the Attorney General's lawyer, Charles Mutinda.

“Citizenship is a question of facts, give us limited time we file our papers so that we can rebut, we will abide by the directions of this court and we will respond as soon as possible so that the court can make its decision, “Mutinda said.

In his ruling, judge Mwita agreed with Mutinda's argument, stating that it would be wise to allow him to tell his side of the story before any directives are issued.

“What I gather in this application is there is the question as to whether the respondents were right in deporting the applicant yet he is said to be a Kenyan citizen,” said justice Mwita

“There is the second question as to whether he was given a fair hearing, for this court to make orders it is important to hear the respondents and hear if they complied with articles of the constitution,” the judge said.

Through lawyers John Khaminwa, Nelson Havi, Waikwa Wanyoike and Apollo Mboya, Miguna pleaded with the court to suspend the order by Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, pending determination of the case.

The lawyers claimed that the Immigration department failed to grant Miguna a fair hearing, before sanctioning his deportation.

“We urge you to give orders so he can be returned to participate in the proceedings pending before the court. We require promptness to restore the rule of law,” Khaminwa said.

“Miguna wants to come back and prosecute the case against the violation of his rights in person. It is only desirable that the court orders his return to square it out face to face in court with those who have mistreated him,” said John Khaminwa.

Miguna is not a Kenyan citizen. He denounced it in 1988 and has never reapplied. The crime is a Canadian citizen administering an illegal oath & pretending to be Chief Justice of Kenya

Miguna Miguna has not been mistreated idiot lawyers! He was trying to abuse our beautiful constitution. Stop taking us back from where we have come from. This constitution was made in many moons, to be abused like that, and it is not a one night stand one.

Where there is a will there is a way.This corrupt Jubi govt can only play hard ball for so long. You forgot the power of the people and international pressure. The struggle has just began.Negative publicity is better than no publicity.

Madam Secession a.k.a Doreen is there no other song you can sing apart from secession? You sound too boring, like a scratched santuli. Try something else like ;Baba tunakuabudu, ni wewe tu baba.

I wonder which deep hole has @Anonymous been living in not to realize that international pressure is on their clown the fake Joshua and wannabe people's president?? Likewise, this imbecile moron @Doreen ought to remember that her fellow morons in Luo Nyanza seceded on October 26, 2017 when they boycotted repeat presidential election. Then, as now or more appropriately after the fake swearing in of their evil god of chaos, destruction and lord of poverty, the sky didn't fall upon the rest of Kenyans nor did Kenya split apart in mayhem or be destabilized. This evil god and his Odinga Demented Morons will never again succeed in causing chaos in our beloved country the way they did in the 1982 attempted coup and PEV in 2007/08. His and his brainless whorshippers delusional greed for power by any means will never succeed no matter how wishful they are about their fake journey to an imaginary Canaan of Luo lazy morons and idlers. FYI, in the 21st century, there is no free manna from beavers except for delusional Luo morons living in a dreamland. My free advice to them is, grow up or at least develop your dormant brains; if they have any!!!!

Exactly which species did you evolve from. There is nothing wrong with my brain and if you are that immature that you think the only way to get your point across is through insults this is not your forum. The schools could only do so much for you supposed honorable person/sapien.By your comments you could not be an honorable anything .Blame your parents for procreating not me for your low IQ and myopic thoughts.
