June 9, 2020 - Blogger Dennis Itumbi has made a stunning U-turn, publicly apologizing to Miguna Miguna for his role in the exiled politician's double deportation in 2018.
Miguna Miguna was twice deported after he played a key role in the controversial swearing-in of opposition leader Raila Odinga as the 'People's President' on January 30, 2018, at Uhuru Park.
At the time, Itumbi, who worked at State House, was vocal on social media, justifying Miguna's deportation despite the courts later ruling it was not done as per the law.
However, two years later, Itumbi has admitted he was wrong and has offered an unconditional apology to Miguna and Kenyans at large.
"The Prefecture led by @FredMatiangi & @Karanjakibicho called me to explain why they were disobeying Court orders issued in favour @MigunaMiguna – I listened & agreed with them. I was wrong to cheer them on. I offer my UNCONDITIONAL apology to Country & Miguna," Itumbi tweeted on Monday.
Itumbi's comments came on a day Chief Justice David Maraga accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of repeatedly disobeying court orders.
