Kenyan court orders return of deported politician






According to local news site, The Nation: The High Court in Kenya has ordered the government to facilitate the return of opposition politician Miguna Miguna who was unceremoniously deported to Canada.

The Kenyan-born politician was deported to Canada, where he also holds citizenship, after being held for days by the police.

Kenyan authorities say that under the old constitution, Kenyans couldn't hold dual-citizenship meaning that Mr Miguna's acquisition of a Canadian passport in 1988 cost him his Kenyan nationality.

The interesting thing is that it was only after his involvement in opposition politics that the government became interested in his career.




Before he was deported on 7 February, the government blatantly refused to obey several court orders demanding the authorities arraign Miguna Miguna in court.

Miguna had been seized for his role in the mock swearing-in ceremony of opposition leader Raila Odinga as the "people's president."
