Senior Director of Innovation, Digital and Diaspora Communication in the Office of the President Dennis Itumbi has now revealed that the government had to call in the Canadian Embassy to elucidate with former Nairobi governor aspirant Miguna Miguna for him to sign citizenship documents presented by the Immigration Department.
Taking to Twitter on Tuesday, Itumbi said that the government had requested the Canadian High Commission to intervene.
"In the morning, Kenya asked the Canadian High Commission to offer their Citizen consular services at the Airport," he said.
"Kenya even asked Canada to personally handle the passport for Miguna, as an assurance that government was not interested in holding his passport," he added.
Itumbi also said that Canadian officials spent three hours with Lawyer Miguna at the Airport but the controversial lawyer declined their assistance.
Mr Itumbi further said the government was ready to facilitate Miguna's entry and through the Immigration Department, they printed forms for him to fill so as to apply for a Kenyan passport or at least temporary entry documents.
"Miguna shredded the forms provided by the Immigration Department by tearing them up," the communication director said.
Interior Ministry communication director, Mwenda Njoka had earlier said that Miguna Miguna had refused to comply with orders from the immigration department which would give him entry into the country.
