National Super Alliance (NASA) strategist Miguna Miguna has welcomed a court ruling declaring his deportation to Canada illegal.
The National Resistance Movement (NRM) self-declared General was earlier this month detained and finally deported to Canada over his participation in NASA leader Raila Odinga's January 30 mock presidential inauguration.
Miguna fully participated in the preparation of Odinga's 'oath'-taking ceremony, where he was sworn-in as the People's President and proceeded to sign purported oath documents.
On Thursday, however, High Court Judge Luka Kimaru withdrew the deportation terming it as illegal.
In the ruling, the judge added that the barrister is free to return to the country.
''Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i declaration of Miguna Miguna as a foreigner and consequent deportation is declared null and void,'' read the ruling in part, as is quoted by the Standard.
The outspoken advocate has in response welcomed the judgment.
He has also thanked and congratulated his legal team led by Siaya Senator James Orengo, Rarieda Member of Parliament Otiende Amollo and Nelson Havi for a job well done.
''I'm grateful for the work of Dr. Joe Khaminwa, James Orengo, Nelson Havi, Apollo Mboya, Waikwa Wanyoike, Mr. Aluoka, Mr. Harun Ndubi, Edwin Sifuna and others! ALUTA CONTINUA!,'' Miguna tweeted.
