Opposition's National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga has faulted opposition activist and his former ally Miguna Miguna's mistreatment claims.
The National Resistance Movement (NRM) leader has repeatedly lamented over his banishment from the nation, a situation the immigration department maintains results from his defiance to reapply for his lost Kenyan nationality, a directive Miguna has rubbished as unnecessary.
Speaking during a public lecture at the King's College, London on Friday, the former Prime Minister poked holes into the Canada-based barrister's claims that his woes are political, advising him to undertake the needed due diligence to secure his reentry into Kenya.
"I have told him to abide with immigration laws and have his Kenyan travelling papers processed and come back. I have told him to visit the Kenyan High Commission in Ottawa and legalize his nationality," said the veteran leader.
He also rubbished Miguna's allegations implicating him in the alleged scheme, in collaboration with the government, to keep him off the nation, noting that he has actually been in the front line in championing for his return.
"I have personally raised this issue with President Uhuru Kenyatta and enlisted his return in the national unity package. I am also the one who brought him into NASA and he is among the people who swore me as the People's President," added the leader.
The self-declared NRM General's woes began after participating in Odinga's January 30 mock Presidential coronation in Uhuru Park after which he was deported twice.
