Miguna Miguna Shares Personal Number, Gives Condition

Outspoken lawyer, Miguna Miguna has offered his personal number to members of the public who may want to reach out to him, a day after he returned to Kenya from exile in Canada.

In his statement on Friday, October 21, Miguna gave an account of his first day back in Kenya, having been in exile for 1,716 days following his deportation in 2018.

He appreciated Kenyans for according him a warm welcome and resultantly shared his number on social media for easier reach. However, he apologised for any delays in responding to calls and texts.

"The return to my motherland yesterday was historic. I had a fantastic first day and night. Thank you to all Kenyans who embraced and welcomed me back home.

"My new number is 0757077930. Apologies in advance if I don't respond to, or answer everyone's call/text. Viva!" he wrote.

Miguna however cautioned Kenyans against adding him to WhatsApp groups without his permission.

"Please do not add me to WhatsApp groups without permission. I thank everyone sincerely for the overwhelming support. There is nothing sweeter than home!" he added.

Miguna is the second person of national interest to give out his number after new Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Director Mohammed Amin shared his in order to give Kenyans easier access to his office.

However, the DCI noted that Amin may be engaged in other matters and might delay returning calls or texts. Alternatively, Kenyans who have urgent issues are asked to report to the investigative agency through the conventional hotlines, including one for purposes of anonymity.

"Owing to his busy schedule and exigencies of service, the Director may not always be in a position to either pick up all calls made to him or return them promptly but would always strive to whenever time allows. The DCI reassures the public that he shall continue to avail himself to the public as he addresses their concerns,"  NPS wrote.

"We, therefore, appeal to members of the public seeking redress over urgent matters to continue reaching out to police through our toll-free numbers 999, 911, 112 and 0800 722 203."

Miguna generated a buzz on his return to Kenya on Thursday, October 20, with supporters even crowding the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to welcome him back alongside the media.

Apologise To Miguna- Martha Karua to Ruto

One of the personalities who reacted towards his return was Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya running mate Martha Karua, who demanded President William Ruto to apologise to the lawyer over the role he played during his chaotic deportation in 2018.

"What happened was a great mistake and atrocity by the government of Kenya of which the current president was a happy Deputy (president).

"It is an action that he cannot dissociate himself with. In fact today, I would expect that he would have apologised to Miguna on his behalf and on behalf of the president who has just retired," Karua told BBC.

The Narc Kenya party leader added that if Azimio leader, Raila Odinga, had won the August 9 poll, she would have ensured he returned home.

"'Raila had indicated that I would handle the docket of matters constitution and the rule of law. Miguna would have been able to enjoy his rights and have his passport returned," Karua affirmed while reiterating that she does not recognise Ruto as president, despite maintaining that she is a firm believer in the rule of law.
