Lawyer Miguna Miguna has hinted at suing those responsible for his deportation to Canada, insisting there can never be reconciliation and peace without justice.
Speaking at the ACK Church in Ahero, Kisumu where he attended a thanksgiving mass on Friday, Miguna said his rights were grossly violated when he was arrested and illegally deported to a foreign country.
“We will seek and get justice because without justice there can never be reconciliation and there can never be peace. Peace must be based on justice; peace and reconciliation cannot be based on falsehoods, on lies on propaganda, on political hatchet jobs which is what we have had for the last five years. It is not a privilege for me to come home it is my right,” said Miguna.
Miguna returned to the country on October 20th after President Ruto’s administration issued him a new Kenyan passport and lifted the red alerts imposed against him by the Jubilee government.
The Kenyan-Canadian attorney was deported to Canada in February 2018 following his arrest for administering the swearing-in of ODM leader Raila Odinga as ‘people’s president’.
Immigration authorities claimed he was a Canadian national, arguing that he never re-applied for his Kenyan citizenship after the promulgation of the 2010 Constitution which provides for dual citizenship.
In 2018, a Nairobi court ruled that Miguna is a Kenyan citizen and that his birthright cannot be changed. High Court judge Chacha Mwita awarded Miguna Sh7 million for what the court found to be a violation of his human rights.
“…The government’s deduction to cancel Miguna Miguna’s passport and declaring him prohibited immigrant is unconstitutional and is hereby declared null and void,” read the ruling.
The judge further held that Miguna did not lose his Kenyan citizenship upon acquiring a Canadian passport.
“Miguna Miguna was entitled to due process… declaring Miguna Miguna a prohibited immigrant cannot stand since he is a Kenyan citizen,” the judge added.
