Former Machakos senator Johnson Muthama has hit out at the Jubilee government for ignoring court orders and re-deporting Canadian based lawyer Miguna Miguna.
Muthama says that Miguna’s second deportation should worry Kenyans and crusaders of rule of law.
According to the former Wiper senator, the government acted against court orders by deporting the self-declared national Resistance movement leader.
The former Machakos senator said that Miguna’s deportation has exposed Jubilee government’s ploy to undermine rule of law.
“Miguna’s deportation will haunt this country in the days to come because it was done in disregard of the court orders,” he said as quoted by a local daily on Thursday.
He said that President Uhuru Kenyatta led government is setting a bad precedent.
The former senator said that it is useless to have the judicial system if its orders are not being followed.
Muthama claimed that Kenyan authorities have exposed the country negatively to the rest of the world through their rogue actions.
He stated that Miguna did not deserve the humiliation he was subjected to since his arrival on Monday.
Muthama asked lawyer’s to pursue the matter and ensure justice for Miguna.
Miguna was deported to Dubai on Wednesday night days after jetting into the country from Canada where he had been deported earlier.
On Thursday, High court Judge George Odunga fined Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet and Immigration Principal Secretary Gordon Kihalangwa Sh200, 000 each as fine for court contempt.
Justice Odunga had earlier convicted the three government officials for ignoring court orders to have Miguna released unconditionally.
