There have been speculations on the internet talking about is Death, I hereby inform you proudly that none of these rumors are true, He is still alive and in good health. We have not come across anything serious about his health.
Miguna Deported
On 30 January 2018, in a mock swearing-in ceremony, he administered an oath of office to Raila Odinga, where Odinga proclaimed himself “the people’s president”. The government reacted by shutting down all television and radio broadcasts and arresting him and another lawyer (T J Kajwang’) who had witnessed the ceremony (but did not arrest Odinga, since that would further inflame his supporters).
On 28 March, just hours before he was ejected from the country, High Court judge George Odunga declared the interior minister, the national police chief, and the head of immigration to be in contempt of court for their actions in defying a court order to release him and fined them US$2000 each.
Miguna Politics
When he returned to the country, he contested in the primaries of the (ODM)’s nomination for Nyando Constituency but lost to Frederick Outa Otieno. He also took part in the 2007 general election and was later appointed as Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s senior adviser on coalition affairs in March 2009 where he served hand in hand with Kivutha Kibwana as the Joint-secretary to the Permanent Committee on the Management of the Grand Coalition Affairs. In August 2011, he was accused of gross misconduct and was thereby suspended without pay.
When the suspension was lifted on 29 December 2011, he rejected his reinstatement. Some members from the Party of National Unity accused him in 2010 of being a foreigner for holding a Canadian passport, as Kenyan law didn’t recognize dual citizenship at the time he acquired Canadian citizenship, although the Kenyan constitution was changed in 2010 to allow for it. Regards to the accusation, he responded by saying that he was a Kenyan citizen by birth and that he had never renounced his citizenship.
