Lawyer Miguna Miguna has spoken out after he was barred from traveling to Kenya on Monday.
Miguna, who was illegally deported to Canada in 2018, was set to fly into the country on Tuesday but was blocked from boarding an Air France flight at Berlin Brandenburg Airport in Germany.
Air France officials at the airport cited a red alert issued against Miguna by the Kenyan government, prohibiting the airline from carrying him.
Miguna, who is presently stuck in Germany, highlighted his plight during an interview with KTN News on Tuesday night. The Kenyan-Canadian political activist says he has experienced psychological, physical, and emotional torture as the government continues to frustrate his bid to return to his motherland.
“I have a right to go home, I have not been home for four years. Can you imagine what that is?”
“I have a family in Kenya, I have relatives who have died, I have those I have not seen for four years. I have a living to make like everyone else, I don’t need a reason to go home,” said Miguna.
Miguna insists that Air France did not block him from traveling, saying the airline is only guilty of enforcing an illegal order from Nairobi.
“Air France allowed me to book the flight and I booked the flight using my perforated Kenyan passport. What they did wrong was acting to obey something they know is extremely illegal,” Miguna noted.
He says an Air France customer service officer told him that they received a red alert that morning directing them to refuse him boarding.
“The customer service who had already been notified of my arrival told me quite clearly before they started checking in, they had my picture and were waiting for me.”
United Progressive Front, a lobby group led by retired Chief Justice Willy Mutunga and Law Society of Kenya President Nelson Havi has since moved to court seeking fresh orders to compel the government to lift the red alerts.
The Government of Kenya is…
The Government of Kenya is embrazzing all Kenyans.
It’s appears Africans from Kenya, are denying their fellow african a chance to go home to Africa.
This whole Miguna saga is really destroying the reputation of Africans.

Don’t lie! This buffoon has been acting stupid for years! It’s time he realizes that he is a no body! It’s only you who is embarrassed by some non-exist drama created by an idiot!

@zac, YOU are the buffoon. You MAY not agree with Miguna or his way of doing things, however, he is a Kenyan and should go back home to Kenya. Don’t be an idiot.
Good! Glad you know you have…
Good! Glad you know you have brought all those big words into your head! How a dummy could you be? It is never your fault Miguna! It’s every body else’s problem except problems of your own making! Hope all those words you have mentioned become permanent in your head!

I dont support oppression or injustices, but I dont think this guy’s misery helps in solving “Wanjiku’s” problems. Book a flight and quietly go “home” like most of us. Publicity is a double edged sword!

Adopting the government of…
Adopting the government of Israel policy on citizenship is the right thing to do now. If you have “Jewish blood” running in your veins, regardless of your place of birth, you have a right to be an Israel citizen.
The late freedom fighter in India the late Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi once said, “There are bad laws as there are bad men.”
The US has a friendlier law on who is an American citizen. It does not matter where you are born as long as one of your parents is an American citizen. Children born out of these relationships are automatic American citizens.
During the autocratic leadership of the late Dr. Daniel Kipkorios Toroitich Arap Moi, many Kenyans were jailed, tortured, and some even died. Let us burry that sad chapter of our history by granting automatic citizenship to all Kenyans who went to exile when life was totally unbearable in their mother country.
@Imara Daima Jews are the…
@Imara Daima Jews are the most racist people in the world.Other day they were deporting Ethiopians Jews who had moved to Israel.This Jews are known haters of other colour so kindly don’t mention them how they do things?For miguna issue is he filed to drop Kenyan citizenship which after 2010 constitution passed u can easily regain it back which personally I did by filling the correct paperwork n if our General miguna did he could have gotten it too but he knows or the guts deported him knows very well what he did concerning his illegal fake PP as we hear(hearsy
If black ppl were rich that…
If black ppl were rich that amount of racism would be down. I wonder why they keep trooping to Israel while no one chases them? Jewish ingenuity would help them prosper where they are. Jews dominate in politics science tech biz Nobel prizes etc

@ Mkenya Halisi:
Ningependa ujue ya kwamba Miguna Miguna ni wengi. Mambo uliyosema juu ya serikali ya Israel ni kweli kabisa. Lakini, ninhependa ujue ya kwamba, Wayahudi wote sio wabaguzi kama ulivyosema. Walio wabaguzi ni wale waliokuja na ubaguzi huo baada ya kuishi chini ya kiongozi wa Ujerumani aliyekuwa mbaguzi mkubwa sana.
Ubaguzi wa rangi ni ugonjwa mbaya sana wa akili. Mtu yeyote anayembagua binadamu mwenzake kutokana na rangi ya ngozi yake au jinsia (gender) ni mtu mgonjwa sana. Hana tofauti na mwendawazimu (muguruki).
you do not need to use a…
you do not need to use a passport to book a flight. you need : first and last name and dates of birth as in your passport . does miguna have different names in both kenya and canadian passports B. he cannot travel with an expired passport no airline will allow you in their flight. C. if you book a flight directly online or go to an agent all what they need is your first and last name and of course dates of birth. Air France is not involved. the agents at the airport will compare your ticket with your passport and it is your responsibility to make sure information is corrrect therefore Miguna is taking us for a ride . Airfrance would loose landing rights or pay a very high fine if a if they break the rule. it is no them who decides when it comes to a barred person . they have a list of persons not allowed to enter Kenya. ‘PRIDE COMES BEFORE A FALL’ and Miguna’s case is because he considers himself very intelligent and above us all he has to put pride aside and negotiate . Governments can frustrate even when one is right especially non democratic countries . Kenya government refuses to comply with the judiciary rulings all the time there is bad blood between them. casualties are us
