Deported Kenyan-Canadian lawyer Miguna Miguna has expressed confidence that the Appellate Court will rule in his favor should the government decide to appeal Friday's high court judgment.
Reacting to reports that the State is considering appealing Justice Chacha Mwita's ruling, the self-declared National Resistance Movement (NRM) general has dared the respondents to try it.
“Let them try," Miguna says, adding that the higher court will increase his compensation for illegal deportation by 200 percent.
“The Court of Appeal will increase my damages by 200%. Let them try. They will not win on earth, in hell or in heaven! #SayNoToUjinga,” he adds.
In his ruling, Judge Mwita said that the firebrand politician was unlawfully deported and that he didn't lose his Kenyan citizenship by acquiring a Canadian passport.
“…The government’s deduction to cancel Miguna Miguna’s passport and declaring him prohibited immigrant is unconstitutional and is hereby declared null and void.” reads Justice Chacha's ruling.
“I find and hold that he did not lose his citizenship upon acquiring a Canadian passport."
The court also ordered the respondents, Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i and Immigration Principal Secretary Gordon Kihalangwa to pay Miguna Sh7 million as compensation for violation of his rights.

What pride?
Am also waiting for the Kenya government to appeal the ruling so that I can laugh!
What I have learnt about this Kenya government their levels of stupidity.
There never winning this war.lol!
Aambiwe awache joto kesi haija aanza bado
Laguna is one of the Wenyeji's of Kenya. Wacha Greed😈, Chuki👹 na Ukabila💀.
Ati miguna says “ l dare them to try”. What will you do Miguna, if they appeal? You are full of empty threats.
this time round they should learn to respect the law.
7m is too little for the offense, it should have been 20m each, as a lesson to other future offenders
Let see how far your threats will take you. Chacha Mwita is a corrupt judge waiting to join Akasha brothers in NY soon
just FYI: Canada allows dual citizenship.
At no point did Miguna miguna have to re-nounce his citizenship.
Tembea pole pole.
@Victoria, Kenya did not have dual citizenship prior 2010. Ukitumia panya route you pay dearly.
You can't lose Citizenship By Birth.
You can renounce your citizenship by birth but you can't lose it.
The government cannot revoke your citizenship by birth.
They can revoke other citizenship status but not citizenship by birth.
This Jubilee government has been lying to Kenyans in Diaspora.
Miguna is just exposing their lies.
@Victoria, there is nothing like what you are saying in the old constitution. Iguna Iguna became a Canadian in 1988. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Many many Kenyans who acquired foreign citizenships prior to the 2010 constitution have been forced to reapply afresh to restore their Kenyan citizenship, myself included. Why do you keep wanting to make an exception for Miguna?
It's the so-called Self-appointed "WenyeInchi" vs Vulnerable MwanaInchi.
That decision can be appealed by any Kenyan not necessary Hon. Matiangi. This is a national security issue and it affects all Kenyans. This are issues I wish people Dr. Koni Hanene would step in and file an appeal. Terrorists should not be rewarded with citizenships and monetary awards after committing horrific crimes. Corrupt Judge Chacha Mwita is setting up unprecedented course in Kenya's legal system. Terrorists are not celebrities and never will. Corrupt Judge Chacha Mwita will soon be an inmate number 2019.. in a New York jail and want to raise as much as he can for his legal defense
"A National security" issue? Was Miguna a Threat to the Country?

@Wanaruona: Kwa nini unamwita Matiang'i "mheshimiwa?" Yeye ni mhudumu (servant of the people) wa umma. Mshahara wake unatokana na wanaouza nyanya na vitunguu mitaani.
Mtu yeyote anayepata mshahara kutoka kwa kodi za wananchi ni "mhudumu wa umma." Watu wanaofanya kazi kwa bidii na pia kuwaajiri wananchi ndio wanastahili kuitwa waheshimiwa.
they must pay.ur our hero.You can sponser to battle this people.Miguna tena.Tibim
