Garissa Township MP Aden Duale has said that the government is working to ensure deported Canadian-based lawyer Miguna Miguna returns to the country if he is willing.
Duale says that the government is ready to facilitate Miguna’s return so long he agrees to abide by the law.
Speaking to journalists in Kamukunji, Nairobi county on Saturday, the jubilee MP said that they want Miguna to be part of the national reconciliation process that kicks off in the next coming weeks.
He said that the Canadian based lawyer is a Kenyan but has to adhere to the law to enable him free access into the country.
“The government is consulting with Miguna lawyers and the Canadian government to ensure he returns if he is willing,” he said.
The legislator asked Miguna to stop being rebellious and cooperate with the government as it works on his return.
Duale said that the country needs to move on and remain united and peaceful.
Miguna was deported a week ago for the second time after he refused to produce his travel documents to Immigration officials upon landing at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
Miguna's second deportation elicited condemnation from politicians allied to the opposition who accused the government of infringing on his constitutional rights.
Miguna’s second deportation saw Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet and Immigration Principal Secretary Gordon Kihalangwa fined Sh200,000 for contempt of court.
The three government officials disobeyed the High court order to have Miguna released and produced in court before his deportation.
Matiang’i, Boinnet, and Kihalangwa have already appealed the Sh200, 000 fine accusing some judges of bias and working with the opposition to humiliate the government.
