Friends and relatives received the firebrand lawyer at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), Nairobi County.
He had earlier updated his followers that he was on his way to Nairobi ahead of the Mashujaa day celebrations.
“With Dr. (Rev) Frankline Mondo Mugisha at the Dubai International Airport – hours before our flight to Nairobi. See you at the #Mashujaa. Viva!” he wrote.
Earlier, he announced that he would be touching down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on Sunday, October 25, 2022.
In a late-night post on social media, the lawyer who was deported almost five years ago stated that he would be arriving in the country on October 20, 2022.
“My homecoming arrival date and time have been changed by popular demand. Arrival: October 20, 2022, at 6.00 AM. See you at the JKIA, Patriots,” he wrote.
Miguna had been deported to Canada where he is also a citizen following his role in the unofficial swearing-in of opposition leader Raila Odinga as “the people’s president” back in 2018.
In April this year, while appearing for a media interview, Matiang’i indicated that Miguna was required to fill out a one-page document to re-register for Kenya citizenship.
Matiang’i said that was the only way the lawyer would secure his travel back according to the new constitution.
“You have to fill a piece of paper so that you regain your Kenyan passport or citizenship. There’s a judgment by the court on this matter which prescribed clearly how you regain your citizenship,” Matiang’i stated.
He added: “There are court rulings in place by the high court on how you regain citizenship after you lost citizenship in the old constitution. Because in the old constitution you were not allowed to have dual citizenship.”
