Politics shouldn&#8217;t allow us to deprive others of their rights &amp; livelihood,\u201d he expressed.<\/p>\n<p>The vocal politician also took a jibe at Odinga for abandoning Miguna in his time of need, by not addressing his rights, despite the support he gave to the former premier during the 2017 elections and after-election clamor for justice.<\/p>\n<p>Miguna led the opposition parties in protesting President Kenyatta\u2019s victory through the National Resistance Movement (NRM), which was made of National Super Alliance (NASA) affiliate parties.<\/p>\n<p>Miguna, through the NRM, led the NASA camp that vehemently denounced the legality of the 2017 presidential poll results.<\/p>\n<p>In a bid to counter lawlessness caused by protesters, the government outlawed NRM, terming it as an organized unlawful group, making it possible to apprehend and prosecute Miguna who declared himself as the group\u2019s general.<\/p>\n<p>Miguna was later apprehended and deported by the government, after he administered a presidential oath of office to NASA Chief, Raila Odinga, in a mock swearing-in ceremony at Uhuru Park in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian attorney\u2019s planned journey to Kenya was orchestrated by former Chief Justice, Willy Mutunga, who promised to accompany him aboard.<\/p>\n<p>Other leaders expected to accompany him include Law Society of Kenya President, Nelson Havi, and activist Boniface Mwangi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/kenya\">Kenya<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
