Miguna Political Career

Upon his return to Kenya, he competed in the primaries of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM)’s nomination for Nyando Constituency but lost to Frederick Outa Otieno. He was part of the ODM’s campaign team during the 2007 general election.

In March 2009, he was nominated as Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s senior adviser on coalition affairs and together acted alongside Kivutha Kibwana as the Joint-secretary to the Permanent Committee on the Management of the Grand Coalition Affairs. In August 2011, he was indicted of gross wrongdoing and was thereby arrested without pay. The suspension was raised on 29 December 2011 but he abandoned his reinstatement.

In 2010, some members from the Party of National Unity side of the coalition accused him of being a foreigner for having a Canadian passport, as Kenyan law didn’t acknowledge dual citizenship at the time he obtained Canadian citizenship, although the Kenyan constitution was changed in 2010 to permit for it.

Nevertheless, he did obtain Canadian citizenship at some point while in expulsion. He explained his actions by stating at the time, “When fleeing a dictatorial regime, one uses any means and even Mr. Odinga once used a Tanzanian passport.”

On 14 July 2012, he established his first memoir titled Peeling Back the Mask: A Quest for Justice in Kenya. The book was very critical of Raila Odinga and purported to disclose him as a charlatan. It flashed objections from Odinga’s supporters in Ahero who burned his effigy and mock coffin and thereafter sprinkled its ashes into River Nyando. He was attacked whilst promoting his book at a hotel in Mombasa and had to be rescued by the police.

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).

He boarded a flight to take him to Canada, where he is a citizen. His departure came after he was charged with treason-related offenses. Kenya’s Chief Justice David Maraga criticized the government for not following court orders to release him on bail.

“Compliance with court orders is not optional, but a constitutional obligation,” Mr. Maraga said in an unprecedented statement. The government had earlier neglected court demands to lift a suspension on Kenyan TV channels, which it took off-air ahead of Mr. Odinga’s “inauguration.”

Miguna Return To Kenya

Kenyan Justice John Mativo summoned the Kenyan Attorney General Mr. Paul Kihara Kariuki to appear in court on 13 January 2020, to explain why orders allowing the lawyer His return to Kenya had not been obeyed. The Attorney General did not appear in court and instead sent a team of lawyers to appear in court on his behalf, prompting protest from his lawyers, who said that the state was treating the matter casually.

On 6 January 2020, Kenyan high court Judge Justice Weldon Korir ordered the government to facilitate his entry of him back to the country, and that the registrar should release his Kenyan passport which is currently under custody.

An order is and is hereby issued, that pending and following the inter-parties hearing of the Application, compelling the Respondents to facilitate entry of the Petitioner into Kenya on January 7, 2020, or any other date appointed by the Petitioner on the basis of his identification through the use of his National Identity Card, or his Kenya Passport in the form and state it was delivered by the Respondents to the High Court Registry pursuant to this Court’s Order.
