Some leaders have publicly stood up to express their frustrations after the Government allegedly barred Miguna Miguna from travelling back home. Miguna was set to arrive last night at around 9:25 pm, though that never happened after his flight was stopped midway in Germany.
The flight operator claimed that a red alert had been issued by the Kenyan government that Miguna should not board a flight to Kenya or any African country. The alert went ahead to warn that any airbus attempting to fly Miguna into Kenya would be denied landing access.
Miguna quickly took to his twitter handle stating, "A red alert to Lufthansa from the president's office was issued last night threatening denial for landing rights to any airline which would attempt taking me to either Kenya or any other African destination."
Some legislators have expressed how disappointed they were with way government was handling Miguna. "This paints a bad picture to both BBI and the handshake. With our failure to accommodate Miguna and his ideas, how can the pretence of uniting a nation be? Rather than frustrating Miguna, we better facilitate him," said Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen.
Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo Junior added how someone will one day pay dearly for Miguna's ill-treatment. "A day will come, and someone will have to pay for having violated Miguna's rights as any other Kenyan," read Senator Mutula's tweet.
On the eve of his anticipated return, Kenyan authorities had issued a statement pledging to facilitate Miguna's return in compliance to court orders, only for it to turn out that the government had issued an order barring Miguna's travel, as revealed by Air France.
Miguna has faulted president Kenyatta for his troubles despite Murkomen arguing that presidential orders allowing Miguna back were only being sabotaged by those who sought to soil Kenyatta's legacy.
"The president already stated publicly that Miguna was very much free to jet back, only but others who want to embarrass the president in addition to soiling his legacy," added Murkomen.
