Kenyans have been left confused after the controversial deportation of self-declared general Miguna Miguna to Canada by Kenyan government.
Immigration officials at JKIA have denied him entry after he jetted back into the country on Monday.Despite being a Kenyan citizen by birth,Immigration officials have insisted that Miguna should sign citizenship forms.
Forget about Miguna, here is a Kenyan who spent 13 months at JKIA after he became stateless.
Sanjah Shah lived for 13 months at Jomo Kenyatta airport, Nairobi, after heended up stateless by falling foul of Britain's citizenship laws.
His wife, Rasmita, and son, Veer, who are both Kenyan citizens, used to visit him every few days to deliver clean clothes and food. In between, sympathetic waitresses gave him coffee and food from the airport cafés.
Mr Shah had flown from Kenya to Britain in May 2005 on a British overseas citizen's passport to visit his sister.Mr Shah was within his rights.
Shah was born in Kenya in 1962, a year before it gained independence from Britain, and he was considered to be a citizen of the UK and its Colonies.
Kenya enacted changes in the law in 2003 that gave him the legal right to apply to become a full British citizen, but officials at Heathrow airport were suspicious of his one-way ticket and denied him access to the country.
With the words "Prohibited Immigrant"stamped on his passport, immigration officers in Nairobi were reluctant to let him back into the country. This is because Kenya didn't allow dualcitizenship so, in his attempt to get into the UK, he had surrendered his Kenyan passport and his automatic right of entry.
But Mr Shah was terrified and he considered to stay as his British citizenship application was being processed.
His perseverance paid off and his British passport application was formally approved.
