Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Exiled lawyer, Miguna Miguna, on Friday, November 12, issued a statement after a Nairobi court threw out an application he made seeking to have the government lift the red alerts allegedly issued against him.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Miguna disclosed that he would still fly to Nairobi on Tuesday, November 16, 2021, as planned earlier.<\/p>\n

He, however, stated that he would appeal the ruling should he be blocked from entering the country.<\/p>\n

“I will proceed with my journey as previously communicated and in accordance with Justice Chacha Mwita’s order of December 14, 2018, and Justice Weldon Korir’s order of January 6, 2020,” read his statement.<\/p>\n

“If I am blocked again, the matter will return to court. If not, see you soon. Viva!”<\/p>\n

A ruling by Justice Edwin Okundi stated there was no evidence showing that Miguna had been stopped from returning to the country.<\/p>\n

Miguna had been kicked out of the country on grounds that he had renounced his Kenyan citizenship.<\/p>\n

Law Society of Kenya President, Nelson Havi, former Chief Justice Willy Mutunga and United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Chairman, Johnson Muthama, urged the government to rescind Miguna’s exile.<\/p>\n

Mutunga and Havi had planned to travel to Canada to accompany the lawyer back to Kenya.<\/p>\n

The exiled lawyer called on more Kenyans to join in and receive him at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).<\/p>\n

“I have received large volumes of messages requesting permission to welcome me to Kenya. No one needs permission from me, or from anyone else, to go to the JKIA, or anywhere else.”<\/p>\n
