Kenyans have expressed mixed reactions after the government deported self-proclaimed National Resistance Movement (NRM) “general” Miguna Miguna.
The politician was on Tuesday night deported from Kenya to Canada after being arraigned in court following the controversial swearing-in of NASA leader Raila Odinga.
He was placed into a KLM flight departing Nairobi for Amsterdam minutes to 10 pm according to his lawyer John Khaminwa.
Below are reactions from Kenyans on Twitter.

I don’t agree with Miguna Miguna’s ideologies,Bt that doesn’t mean I support illegal deportation. Our constitution is clear “A citizen by birth doesn’t lose citizenship by acquiring the citizenship of another country. His deportation to Canada is inconsequential #MigunaDeported
@C_NyaKundiH
The Jubilee government gets more desperate.How do you deport a Kenyan citizen to Canada. #MigunaDeported
@edzil_kenya
Wait until miguna gets hold of a smart phone with WiFi ndio mtajua hamjui #migunadeported
@irunguhoughton
#Migunacharged #MigunaConcealed then #MigunaDeported against a court order? Exiled once by Moi, now by Uhuru, his following just expanded and our constitutionalism just suffered another blow. #ZeroSum
@MuthuiMkenya
All Miguna has to do is renounce his Canadian citizenship and he'll be on the next plane back to Kenya.#MigunaDeported

The move by the Government to DEPORT MIGUNA MIGUNA a very wise decision. You never know maybe NASA planned to assassinate him immediately after his release then blame it on the Jubilee Government a factor that could have ignited unstoppable Chaos in the Country. #MigunaDeported
@HonMillyOmanga Article 17 (2) The citizenship of a person who was presumed to be a citizen by birth, may be revoked if;~The citizenship was acquired by fraud, false representation or concealment of any material fact by any person;#MigunaDeported

NRM is a banned militia.And general was deported like a leader of terror group.Good work from Matiangi.#MigunaDeported
@DonaldBKipkorir
Under Article 16 of the Constitution, a Kenyan by birth even if dual Citizen, can never lose his citizenship... Under Article 17, a foreigner who acquired Kenyan citizenship can lose it ... Miguna’s deportation violates our Constitution.. #MigunaDeported
