The government has reiterated that lawyer Miguna Miguna’s return to Kenya will be “low-key” and free of the drama that characterised his deportation to Canada in March 2018.
Government Spokesman Colonel (Rtd) Cyrus Oguna on Monday said the President’s remark on the controversial lawyer’s return stands so he will be allowed back, but just like any other citizen – with valid travel documents.
The lawyer obtained orders compelling the State to facilitate his re-entry on the basis of his identification through his national identity card or his withheld Kenyan passport.
President Uhuru Kenyatta, at the burial of second liberation hero Charles Rubia in Murang’a County on December 30, 2019, said everyone has a right to the freedom of expression.
In a veiled reference to Dr Miguna, he said, “I have heard that some people are now planning to fly into the country. Let them come because that is their freedom.”
