For clarification purposes Miguna will eventually get his Kenyan Citizenship reinstated.
He may very well be required to formerly apply for the same, following which the administration will be required to so recognise him and issue him with the requisite docs.
In the event the administration refuses to do so, if Miguna petitions the court he will have his way in his regard – court orders for restoration of his citizenship.
Viewed from this angle, the administration started a war that they can only win some battles but ultimately will eventually lose the war.
But there is also another view;
- Prior to his arrest Miguna acted and talked recklessly including declaring himself a general in NRM a body/movement that has presented itself as a pseudo military outfit.
It did not help matters for him that even after the said NRM had been proscribed after being declared a terrorist body, he defiantly and blatantly continued to associate himself with it and generally act as though he were a law unto himself.
In my view such conduct should not be let to take root especially that there is a large proportion of the Country that would think it is in order.
A government has a duty to make sure that South Sudan or Congo situations dont happen here. By letting fellows act as Miguna was, as well as the oathing group is to create fertile ground for rebel idea to nurture.
Truth be told without deterrent some of these characters can orchestrate a civil unrest.
In that case, it may be a lesser evil to check these characters in time rather than wait until many Lives end up being lost and some people in refugee or IDP camps!
I say these things as a patriot, and not one who is overly and unduly concerned with political correctness of issues- as long as it represents the greater good.
All said and done there is no alternative to following the law and above all obeying court orders.
