But some of the leaders whose passports have been suspended vowed to ignore the directive. Those who have received the letters include Siaya Senator James Orengo, self-declared NRM general Miguna Miguna, and businessman Jimi Wanjigi. “Ten years ago, a three-judge bench of the High Court ruled that the right to a passport was a constitutional right. The immigration department had no power to cancel or invalidate the respondents’ passports and that the cancellation of the respondents’ passports without due process was unconstitutional,” the court said. NASA leader Raila Odinga and his co-principals Kalonzo Musyoka, Moses Wetang’ula, and Musalia Mudavadi are not among the 14 whose passports have been suspended.
