On July 10, 2019, a surprise development emerged in the saga of Miguna Miguna's attempts to return to Kenya. Miguna, a Kenyan lawyer, has been living in Canada since 2018 after a dispute with the Kenyan government over his citizenship.
According to reports, Miguna was deported from Kenya to Canada in 2018 after the government claimed he had renounced his Kenyan citizenship. However, Miguna maintained that he was still a Kenyan citizen and had been unfairly targeted by the government.
Recently, Oscar Sudi, a Kenyan MP, proposed that the government should allow Miguna to return to Kenya. Miguna's response was unexpected, as he expressed support for Sudi's proposal, stating that he was free to advocate for the constitution.
"Wakenya wote akiwemo Oscah Sudi wana haki ya kutetea katiba. Wapigane na wanaopindua haki za kikatiba na walinde demokrasia. Hawahitaji ruhusa yangu kufanya hivyo," Miguna said in a statement.
It remains to be seen whether Miguna's support for Sudi's proposal will lead to his return to Kenya. However, the development has sparked hope among Kenyans who have been following the saga.
