By AGGREY MUTAMBOMore by this AuthorA lobby for Kenyans in the diaspora says the government’s maltreatment of Miguna Miguna could turn him into a martyr. The Kenya Diaspora Alliance has criticised President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration for mistreating Dr Miguna after a red alert against him was issued, barring his entry into Kenya. Dr Miguna, a lawyer and critic of the government, was deported from Kenya in March 2018 on claims he had not regularised his Kenyan citizenship. If the latter, why are we creating a mountain out of an anthill, and making Miguna Miguna an undeserving martyr?” Dr Shem Ochuodho, the global chairperson of KDA said. The KDA said maltreatment of Dr Miguna could discourage the diaspora from investing back home as they would fear suffering a similar fate.
