Dr. Miguna Miguna, a Kenyan-born Canadian scholar and lawyer, has announced his return to Kenya on January 11th, 2022. The 'I am Not Boarding' General was deported from Kenya in 2018 after a mock-swearing in of Raila Odinga as the People's President.
On December 15, 2019, General Miguna tweeted, 'My Flight to my Mother Land will land at the JKIA on January 11, 2020. To CJ @dkmaraga, @Kenyajudiciary, my lawyers, KNCHR and @lawsocietykenya: Court Orders must be OBEYED. Ensure COMPLIANCE with Justice Mwita's ORDERS of December 14, 2018. #MIGUNAMIGUNA #RevolutionNow.'
General Miguna was initially deported in February 2018 after his arrest by Immigration Officers who claimed he was in Kenya illegally. However, in December 2018, the High Court ruled that Miguna is a Kenyan by birth and holding a Canadian passport does not deny him his birthright.
Justice Chacha Mwita, while delivering his ruling, declared that the State violated Miguna Miguna's rights by forcefully deporting him and awarded him Sh7.2 million.
