General MM has arrived, welcome home.

I know my rights. But I am also a reasonable fellow. For the record, I did not bribe anyone. I applied, queued early and waited for 2 months. May he is doing this cause it helps his career. I alight this hype train when steps are made for restitution but there is no reciprocation.
If a guy rams your car from behind, you dont throw tantrums, refuse to move from the road and insist that your car must be magically restored to the state it was. No. You take the restitution road and accept insurance repairs and move on with life. So there was a lacuna with this guy's thing, he is told do 1, 2, 3 fill these, or have an elf fill them, we'll straighten this thing out...he goes nooooo i have a big dick, I will go toe to toe...hehehe..
I urge you to experiment with this "I have rights so I am above procedures" thing and see how far you will get. It is your right to support the guy but I aint buying it

Nowadays visiting Wazua feels like stepping into the twilight zone. Everything is surreal.
When the government disobeyed court orders and deported miguna, there are people who cheered but somehow now want miguna's human rights respected.


1. Majority of us are hopelessly tribal. The prism with which we view events is tinted with either the love for or hatred for one man - Raila Odinga. The love or hatred is itself based on primitive tribal allegiance.

Little wonder, that from my people who hated Miguna two years ago, a substantial percentage now don't mind him. I wager he can comfortably hold a town-hall meeting in Nyeri, Thika Kerugoya comfortably.

The bigger issue a lot of people are missing is the government of the day setting a precedence where it can pick any Kenyan citizen by birth, claim he somehow "lost" his citizenship and expel him. This is a serious violation of human rights and its not even an issue of "supporting" MM.

I agree. But a Kenyan is eligible for issuance of a passport. Issuance is predicated on applying for the thing. The existence of the right does not absolve from the process or duty if you may, of actually applying for one. The two are not equivalent, especially in the assumption that the government will haul its ass and do it for you. Everything we do, from getting a national id, a KRA tax pin for yourself or your business, birth certificates, marriage certificates will require you to go through application and some tedious process of waiting, paying etc.
This is necessary because order is dependent on such mundane things, at least here in Kenya. When you turned 18 you could have ignored the application process for an Id but then things would have gotten difficult very quickly.
You are only as good as your papers say as far as other entities are concerned. Thats why you use them in interactions and business everywhere.
If you lose your passport, you apply for another one, if you are eligible. If the government loses / destroys your passport by commission or ommission, you apply for another one, if you are eligible, but you can also sue for criminal negligence, damage and others. Even getting a renewal still requires an application.
If Miguna applies for a document and is denied, that is a whole other issue.
This thing is procedural and doesnt deserve all these theatrics. Eating humble pie and applying for a passport is the sensible thing to do but lots of hubris is involved here, so lets wait and see. Just like with everything else, beating drums online will not do Miguna an iota of good.
