{UAH} Court Declares Miguna A Kenyan Citizen, Awards Him Sh7 Million As Compensation

Gwokto,/ Edmund/ Moses Nekyon/ WBK

Remember I did argue that this would be the outcome of this case. What Jomo Kenyatta did was completely illegal. A Kenyan citizen can not have his citizenship annulled or removed because a  corrupt tyrant is unhappy with him. Miguna has a right to enter and leave Kenya anytime he wants,. There is no law in Kenya that prevents a citizen from returning to his own country, even if he does not have a visa or passport- all he needs is to prove that he is a citizen- which Miguna did by bringing such eminary sureties as Dr Raila Odinga. etc.

Justice Chacha Mwita has ruled that controversial lawyer Miguna Miguna was unlawfully removed from Kenya as he is a Kenyan citizen. He stated that citizenship by birth could not be revoked.

"Even if the petitioner (Miguna) acquired Canadian citizenship, he did not lose his Kenya citizenship. He remains a citizen of Kenya," Justice Mwita stated.

The High court also said that holding Miguna Miguna in incommunicado and failing to produce him in court was a violation of the lawyer's rights.

The court also ordered the government pay Miguna Sh7 million as compensation for continued violation of his rights.

Justice Chacha Mwita has restated what I've maintained throughout: That the despots violated my fundamental rights, freedom and dignity and that I'm a Kenyan and never lost my citizenship. Thanks Dr. Khaminwa, @waikwawanyoike, @kamandamucheke, @NelsonHavi and other lawyers.

Miguna had stated that he did acquire his Canadian citizenship voluntarily as he went to Canada seeking political asylum.

The court had earlier dismissed the deportation of the controversial lawyer and had ordered the interior Ministry to deposit his passport at the High court, a decision which the ministry had vowed to appeal.

Miguna Miguna has faced a myriad of misfortunes after the revocation of his Kenyan citizenship. He was deported twice from Kenya as immigration officer claimed that he was not a Kenyan citizen and was required to reapply for his citizenship.
