Miguna’s Letter Seeking To Attend Presidential Elect,Ruto’s Swearing In Ceremony

SK 2 years ago 2 min read

Dr. Miguna Miguna, an exiled attorney, now requests that the Assumption of the Office of the President Committee ensure his entry into the nation safely so that he can witness president-elect William Ruto’s inauguration on September 13, 2022.

As the council finalizes its plans for the changing of the guard at State House, Miguna urged the committee chairperson, Dr. Joseph Kinyua, in a letter dated September 7 not to ignore his plight but rather to make arrangements for his return to Kenya. The letter was written by Miguna’s legal representative Adrian Kamotho Njenga.

“The Assumption of the Office of President Committee would be acting contrary to the Constitution if it proceeds with its business as usual, without reasonable regard to the plight of our client who has suffered tremendous injustice and indescribable psychological torture at the hands of the departing regime,” the letter seen by Citizen Digital reads in part.

“Thus, your Committee has an overarching duty and legal obligation to ensure that our client is facilitated to attend the swearing in ceremony of the 5th President, His Excellency William Samoei Ruto, without fail.”

Njenga began by pointing out that Miguna is a valid Kenyan citizen who is qualified to attend Ruto’s swearing-in ceremony. He then pleaded with the committee to lift all red alerts that had been placed on Miguna as a result of his 2018 deportation.

“Further, may we have your earliest confirmation that all the red alerts and other unlawful restrictions that were ruthlessly imposed on our client have been lifted,” said Njenga in the letter.

“May you also get back to us with a replacement copy of our client’s passport in lieu of the one that was perforated and defaced by the primitive state officials who indiscriminately violated our client’s rights.”

Within the next 24 hours, Miguna anticipates that the Assumption of the Office of the President Committee will at the very least present a path forward with regard to his requests.

After taking part in Raila Odinga’s swearing-in as the “People’s President” at Uhuru Park on January 30, 2018, Miguna was initially deported in February 2018. Authorities seized his passport at that moment.
