Vocal lawyer Miguna Miguna has reacted after a Chinese man was captured on video insulting Kenyans and President Uhuru Kenyatta by likening them to monkeys.
In a tweet on Thursday, Miguna sided with the motorcycle dealer who has since been identified as Liu Jiaqi, saying that the President indeed deserves the tag.
He based the same on his recurrent accusations against Kenyatta, including allegations that the President is to blame for the murder of opposition supporters during protests to oppose his re-election in opposition backyards.
"The Chinese man who called @UKenyatta a monkey was generous. Mr @UKenyatta is far worse than a monkey. Monkeys are very civilized. They show genuine love, affection and care for their children when @UKenyatta murders babies like Baby Pendo and children like Moraa Nyarangi,’’ he tweeted.
In a two and a half minute video largely circulated on social media, the Chinese national who appears irritated is seen firing shots at Kenyans and the President, in what seems to emanate from a row with one of his employees.
"Every one, every Kenyan is like a monkey, even Uhuru Kenyatta. All of them," said Liu.
The Immigration Ministry on Thursday confirmed that Liu has since been arrested and is being processed for deportation over his racist remarks.
