Self-proclaimed National Resistance Movement (NRM) general Miguna Miguna has expressed satisfaction after the High Court on Monday ruled in his favor.
Presiding judge, Justice Chacha Mwita, on Monday ruled that Miguna is free to return to Kenya.
In a tweet, minutes later, the outspoken leader welcomed the decision hailing his Siaya Senator James Orengo-led legal team for a job well done.
He also congratulated Justice Mwita and Luka Kimaru, who had earlier ordered that he be released from police custody, for upholding the constitution.
''Thank you Justice Chacha Mwita! Thank you Justice Kimaru! Thank you Learned Counsel Dr. Khaminwa, @NelsonHavi, @orengo_james, @waikwawanyoike, @SenMutula, @CliffOmbeta, J. Soweto, M. Osundwa and others.Thank you patriotic Kenyans. Justice is superior to guns!'' he tweeted.
Miguna had vowed to put up a spirited fight to regain his Kenyan citizenship following the government move to take it away.
The Immigration department had maintained that he failed to re-apply for the citizenship after acquiring his Canadian passport and automatically ceased being a Kenyan national and was therefore unconstitutionally in the country.
