Kiambu senator Kimani Wamatangi has defended the government move to deport self-proclaimed National Resistance Movement (NRM) leader Miguna Miguna.

Speaking to journalists at Kiambu Town on Thursday, the Jubilee senator said that Miguna’s behavior and actions during Raila Odinga’s swearing in as the people’s president made him to be deported.
He further said that the explanation by the government on Miguna’s deportation is concrete.
“People should stop bashing the government for deporting Miguna who had notoriously become a threat to security,” he said on Thursday.
The senator said that Miguna’s move to administer an illegal oath to Raila Odinga as the people’s president was a crime that is punishable by law.
Wamatangi said that Miguna’s own actions made him to be deported back to Canada.
Wamatangi said that the government has a duty to protect its citizens adding that few characters cannot be allowed to threaten security of millions of people.
The senator accused Miguna of misleading NASA leader Raila Odinga to take an oath that is not prescribed in the constitution and which the government had termed highly treasonous.
Wamatangi asked the government to continue the crackdown on all those who planned and administered Raila’s oath last week.
Miguna was deported to Canada on Tuesday night a aboard a KLM flight flying to Amsterdam.
The Canadian based lawyer had been in police cells for five days after being arrested at his Runda home on Friday last week in relation to Raila’s last week swearing in at Uhuru Park.
Miguna’s deportation continues to elicit sharp criticism and condemnation from opposition leaders who are accusing the government of contravening the constitution.
NASA has vowed to sue the government for unlawfully arresting, detaining and deporting Miguna Miguna.
