Lawyer Miguna Miguna has hit back at the government after it issued a statement ahead of his return.
In a series of tweets on Monday, Miguna demanded that the government should obey court orders to ensure his return.
"Court Orders are not suggestions. They are ORDERS. Return/issue my valid Kenyan passport, which you took from me illegally and the Courts have ordered you to return unconditionally. The Courts also Ordered you to FACILITATE my return and ENTRY into Kenya UNCONDITIONALLY," he said in one of the tweets.
Miguna's tweets come after President Uhuru Kenyatta broke his silence on the return of renowned lawyer.
Speaking during the burial of former Nairobi Mayor Charles Rubia, Uhuru said that Miguna has the freedom to return and speak whatever he wants but he must stick to the law.
“There is no one that has been barred from speaking. You can walk on the roads and scream. I have heard even others want to board flights back so that they can continue speaking. (Na hakuna mtu ambaye amezuliwa kusema yale ambayo anataka kusema. Atembee barabara apige nduru zake aseme hata naskia wengine wanataka wapande ndege warudi waanze kusema)” he said in a video shared on Facebook.
Government Spokesperson Cyrus Oguna had earlier on said that Miguna will only be allowed back into the country if he produces the required travel documents.
“All his travel papers must be right and valid, then he will not be denied entry. All his papers must be right and valid as per the travel regulations. We are governed by the rule of law” Oguna told Nairobi News.
Miguna was deported after he took part in the controversial swearing-in of ODM leader Raila Amolo Odinga.
He has since been launching attack after attack against the Jubilee regime. He announced that he will be returning into the country on January 7, 2020.
