While in exile, the vocal lawyer has intensified his campaigns against ODM party leader Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta’s type of leadership accusing the two of colluding to ‘rape’ the country’s economy through the March 2018 handshake.
Despite this, President Uhuru Kenyatta and his government have already hinted at allowing the vocal lawyer back into the country.
Speaking on Monday in Muranga at a burial of veteran politician Charles Kobia, Uhuru stated that every Kenyan was entitled to freedom of speech and that those who had been outside the country are free to come back and talk as they are entitled to it.
“I am aware that wemgine wanataka kupanda ndege wakuje waendeleze kelele zao, (there are those who want to come back to Kenya to continue making noises) let them do that” stated Uhuru.
On Monday, government spokesperson Cyrus Oguna warned Miguna to carry his valid travel documents saying that the lawyer will only be allowed back into the country with the said documents.
