Miguna Miguna accorded warm reception in Kisumu, vows to seek justice over 4-year exile

Lawyer and activist Miguna Miguna has this evening landed at the Kisumu International Airport ahead of his homecoming ceremony and meeting with his family members at his ancestral home after 4 years in forced exile.

The firebrand lawyer was accorded a warm reception by a section of his supporters and family members.

Former Kisumu Senator Fred Outa was also among the leaders who received the self-proclaimed revolutionary.

Speaking to journalists upon his arrival, Miguna Miguna expressed gratitude to his supporters for according him a warm reception on his grand return.

“I am extremely grateful to everyone here for welcoming me to my home. I am from Kisumu county, the former Nyanza province. I understand that some people, in my absence, were saying that I am not a citizen of Kenya. I know everyone knows that that’s false,” he stated.

The accomplished lawyer, who holds Canadian citizenship, noted that Kenya must be governed by the rule of law.

“As I arrive in Kisumu, I would like to state and underline the significance of the rule of law and the principle of constitutionalism. This country must be governed by the rule of law. Everything that is done in this country must be guarded by law.”

“The constitution of Kenya specifically prohibits torture, forced exile, illegal detention, unlawful arrests and persecution. All these ills were perpetrated against me for the last 4 years. We will seek justice,” he said as he revealed that he was proceeding to his hometown, Ahero, for a church service.

Miguna also thanked President William Ruto’s government for upholding the law by facilitating his return.

The lawyer also took issue with certain quarters, that he claims had threatened to stone him on his arrival. He further dared the group to attempt to disrupt his homecoming while asserting his unrelenting fight for the liberation of the Luo community.
