The Kenya National Human Rights Commission has requested the government to issue lawyer Miguna Miguna with his Kenyan passport and get him an air ticket from Toronto to Nairobi for his planned arrival on May 16.
The commission has also asked the government to issue access cards to its commissioners to meet the outspoken politician and Jubilee critic on arrival at the JKIA and ensure a smooth re-entry into Kenya.
Miguna was illegally deported from Kenya to Canada where he is a citizen and denied entry into Kenya when he tried to come back before being sent back to Dubai from where he later flew to Canada.
This was despite more than 10 court orders that tried to stop his deportation. He is holed up in Canada and plans to fly back on Wednesday. Kenyan authorities stand ground that he is not a Kenyan having revoked his citizenship.
Ms Mbogori has asked the government officials to give her a feedback by today (Thursday, May 10). Miguna has announced that he will return to the country on May 16, 2018. This will be his second attempt to return to the country after his second deportation in March 2018.
Miguna revealed that he will land at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on May 16. He said that he is a Kenyan Citizen by birth and that court ordered Interior Cabinet Secretary, Fred Matiangi and Inspector General of Police, Joseph Boinnet to issue him with a valid Kenyan passport.
Miguna claimed in several posts on social media that he was drugged and shipped to Dubai unconscious. He refused to board a plane to London and was being treated at a hospital at the airport in Dubai. .
The raging controversy over Miguna’s status had plunged the Executive and Judiciary into an unprecedented conflict when orders issued by the courts were frustrated and resisted by the government, leading to a near stand-off between the two arms of government.
