Miguna Miguna was deported after the Canadian embassy in Nairobi asked for 'their' citizen, Interior ministry spokesman Mwenda Njoka has revealed. Speaking to the Star on phone on Wednesday, Njoka said Miguna renounced the Kenyan citizenship immediately he applied for a Canadian passport. "The moment he got his Canadian citizenship in the 1990's and it is illegal for a Kenyan to get another citizenship. The constitution is crystal clear: no one can invalidate or purport to cancel the citizenship of a Kenyan-born citizen," Miguna said. IEBC communications officer Andrew Limo said Miguna used his Kenyan passport to be cleared to contest the Nairobi governor seat.
