Lawyer Miguna Miguna has been deported to Canada for a second time. This follows a two-day standoff between the Canada-based lawyer and Kenya’s immigration officials at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
Miguna’s lawyer Nelson Havi said his client was forced into a Dubai-bound flight EK 772 on Wednesday night.
Miguna arrived at JKIA on Monday night on a flight from Dubai. Immigration officials could not however clear him into the country because he refused to hand in his Canadian passport to them. Miguna demanded to be handed his Kenyan passport so that he can enter the country as a Kenyan, but it was not provided to him.
The stand-off has led him to remain at the airport since he arrived. Officials first tried to deport him on Monday night but he resisted the move and stormed out of a Monday night Dubai-based flight.
Immigration officials have maintained that the self-declared National Resistance Movement (NRM) general is no longer a Kenyan after having acquired Canadian citizenship before the promulgation of the new constitution, and after him having failed to apply to re-gain his Kenyan citizenship. The government took away the Kenyan passport he had shortly before he was deported from the country the first time last month.
Earlier in the day, High Court Judge George Odunga convicted Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’I, former Immigration chief Gordon Kihalang’wa and Police Inspector General Joseph Boinnett t for contempt of a court order that demanded for the release of Miguna from detention at the airport.

You called baba stupid, told Matiang’i come baby, said Uhuruto were sijui damagogs(sp), and threatened to cause chaos while you arrive in Nairobi. Sasa umejua haujui.
Am not boardinggg,Am not boardingg from JKIA to Toronto,Canada.
What does Odunga mean when he declares-NO BODY IS ABOVE THE LAW,then he issues a directive that boy Miguna enter Kenyan territory without travel documents?How can he mix tribalism with his principled/privileged national duty to the point of confusing himself?
Good riddance. Nuff said
Miguna we lost you when you insulted "Baba". You are on your own.
So what was its worth for Miguna to try and make forced entry into the country without travel documents and upon threatening to "overthrow the despots"? How much would he have lost by submitting his Canadian passport or signed the forms to regain his citizenship, then taking his fight to the courts without immigration hindrance?
Even if he is right, let say, is he smart? Can't he figure out how to choose his fights carefully. Sometimes it is better to leave a fight for another day.
This whole idea that you can deconstruct everybody in your path by loud ranting and raving; infantile stubbornness and name calling is foolish. His ability to quote Shakespeare and Machiavelli eloquently, or having Dr. designation does not necessarily equate to intelligence/ujanja. Akili ni mali, itumie vizuri.
Miguna, you are a smart foolish man. The law of the land is supreme. You failed to respect it and now, all these problems for nothing.
Garbage in garbage out. Everybody else who had acquired citizenship of another country prior 2010 reapplied to get their Kenyan citizenship back. Who does Miguna think he is not to do so.
God bless Kenya the greatest beautiful shithole calm rich country in the world.Law has to b followed.Personasly I replied my Kenyan citizenship after 2010 n within 2 months I was granted back my rights as pure maumau Kenyan citizen coz I had USA pp do who does miguna n this luo judge ondinga this He is????U get to Kenyan soil n u abused the president,our country n ur illegal Canadian citizen???Miguna ur a lawyer n u know the law clearly more than a shamba boy but u don’t want to follow it so grow up n carry yr own cross????Bure kabisa
@ Mkenya halisi, you are lying, you never had an American PP. You are a deportee, judging by the comments you make.
You got him, he he heee!
Mkenya halisi once said that he renounced his US citizenship but he kept his green card..Heheheh.. he had both at the same time but now only has a green card.
Sometimes I feel sorry for him then I remember he is doing so well in Kenya with the millions upon millions he 'collected' in the US.
Ukweli Dr. Miguna umeanika Jubillee in broad daylight wenye macho hawambiwi tazama. Umepaka serikali permanent matope it will take years kuyaosha.
GVT had 2 sleepless nights. wisdom gvt haina
Uhuru Kenyatta MUST GO!
Its as simple as that.
Jubilee government has lost its mind.
garbage in garbage out, so miguna general honourable sir,what do you expect after planting shit in the plantation you call shit? Akili ni muhimu kuliko mwili wako.Bure kabisa generali.
Yippee!! Best breakfast news to wake up to! I said here yesterday...he is a Canadian, they had prove he was. His consulates were there to support him, he refused. He got rid of his Canadian passport to frustrate the authorities, lakini in the digital world we live in, his travel trail is traceable. Immigration rules are there to reinforce national security, so we can't bend the rules to appease one arrogant man. He was deported to his port of departure as he had satisfied Dubai's travel requirements to allow him board to Kenya. Took too long, glad they had the balls to do this. As for the court orders, ain't they only applicable within Kenyan borders? Upuzi mtupu and wasted resources for a country down on it's knees with national debt. I applaud the action/result!
Miguna miguna is a troublemaker. But perhaps there's a better way of handling someone like him. Why don't they just send him back to Canada?
@Moses, as I understand it, immigration rules are that one is deported back to the country you "boarded from". That country then has to move you on to the country of origin. Ha! Miguna was touring for his campaign prior to his arrival in NRB, so I guess he will have a lot of ports to visit before he lands in his acquired land (Canada). The issue is that he confiscated his Canadian PP when he landed in Kenya. The Canadian embassy can issue a temporary one though. Miguna Miguna being who he is, is still insisting to be shipped back to Kenya.... the drama is real. So far, I am glad they have taught him a lesson, but being the objective me, I wonder just how they managed to get him on that plane? Compliant and according to Kuria (another maniac & another topic for another day, I mean what business has he got posting his position on that plane? Undermines the immigration kabisa) was sitting quietly. This is going to be a landmark case that will be used for years to come, take note.
As a Kenyan born Canadian, all Canada has to do is nullify his citizenship.
Miguna is a butt sore to the rest of Kenyans living in Canada
It is about time the government had some balls. This nonsense has been allowed to continue far too long.If anyone is vowing to overthrow the government and cause havoc to the livelihood of the wananchi he or she needs to dealt with accordingly. The country is bigger than one demented person. Good riddance Miguna Miguna. The government ought to move on those hooligans bent on destruction of private properties. Law and Order.
@odunga it’s serves you right and understand your orders are useless when you are the rebel supporter now go after dci, matiangi and boiner you useless looser on the bench
