Canada-based Kenyan lawyer Miguna Miguna has said he will announce the date he will return to Kenya after President William Ruto promised to lift red alerts issued against him by the regime of the retired President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Miguna says he will return immediately after his passport is renewed.
"I'm happy to announce that President @WilliamsRuto has assured me that the red alerts will be lifted on Wednesday, September 14, 2022.
"Thereafter, I will have my Kenyan Passport renewed and I'll announce the date of my return to my motherland. Bravo!" He tweeted on Tuesday, September 13.
Red alerts against Miguna
In November 2021, Miguna’s plan to travel back to Kenya hit a snag after Air France declined to fly him over a red alert.
“This is to inform Kenyans and the world that Airfrance officials at the check-in counter at the Berlin Brandenburg Airport have just informed me that the Government of Kenya sent them a “red Alert” this (Monday) morning that they cannot fly me to Nairobi. I’m waiting for a copy, ” Miguna tweeted on November 15.
Miguna has been a fierce defender of Ruto of late.
