Lawyer Miguna Miguna alleges that the Kenya Embassy in Berlin has refused to issue him with travel documents disobeying High Court orders regarding his travel home
Earlier today, the High Court gave Miguna 72 hours to obtain an emergency travel document to facilitate his travel back to Kenya.
Justice Hedwig Ongโundi directed the Canada-based barrister to obtain the document from the Kenyan High Commission in Ottawa Canada or Berlin Germany.
In an update, Miguna, who is stuck in Berlin, said he visited the Kenyan embassy as directed by the court but the officials refused to comply with the orders.
According to Miguna, he arrived at the Kenyan Embassy in Berlin at 1:50 PM.
He claimed that the officials were under firm instructions from authorities in Nairobi to deny him the emergency travel document.
โAmb. Tom Amolo hurriedly left at 2 PM. Ushered to the Boardroom by Emma Mabinda, Karuma and Esther Mungai and told that if they comply with Justice Ongโudiโs Order and issue me with a Travel Document, they would lose their jobs,โ Miguna said in a tweet thread.
โEmma Mabinda specifically told me that she has received instructions from Nairobi not to comply with the Court Order. She asked me for proof of Kenyan citizenship and I showed her my National ID card. She demanded a โCertificate of Regaining Citizenshipโ.โ
Apparently, the officials told Miguna that the government may have appealed the orders he was referring to.
โI asked her to show me the โCertificate for Losing Citizenship,โ but she stated that she did not have the same. Mr. Karuma then said that โthe court Order you are speaking about is rumours and maybe has been appealed.โ Impunity all over the place,โ Miguna added.
Miguna, who holds dual citizenship, has maintained that he wonโt reapply for Kenyan citizenship since he has never renounced it.
Justice Ongโundi on Monday ruled that Air France should with immediate effect allow Miguna to board an available flight to Kenya once he obtains the travel document.
โUpon landing, he be allowed to use his ID for purposes of identification,โ ordered Justice Ongโundi on Monday.
The court further directed Miguna to apply for a Kenyan passport once he arrives in Kenya.
The government, the judge ruled, should issue Miguna with a Kenyan passport in a weekโs time as long as all requirements are complied with.
Miguna was blocked from flying to Nairobi from Berlin last week over โRed Alertsโ issued to Air France by Kenyan authorities.
But responding to Migunaโs application filed in a Nairobi Court, Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho said no government agency has issued any red alert to the Lufthansa Group and Air France in relation to Migunaโs return to Kenya.
