The Kenyan government has spoken on claims by exiled lawyer Dr Miguna Miguna that it had issued a red alert that has barred him from travelling to any African Country.

Miguna on Monday morning claimed he has been barred from boarding a flight from Frankfurt Airport to Nairobi due to red alert issued by the government Kenya.

However, government spokesperson Cyrus Oguna says Miguna is free to travel back to Kenya on President Uhuru Kenyatta’s assurance.

Oguna said the Foreign Affairs ministry will handle the red alert issue.

President Kenyatta had earlier said that his government is keen on freedom of expression, and any Kenyan is free to enjoy the freedom.

The Immigration Department also on Monday said it will comply with a court order to facilitate the return of Miguna Miguna, who was deported in 2018, over the swearing-in of NASA leader Raila Odinga following a repeat Presidential election in which President Kenyatta was declared the winner.

Miguna was deported for taking part in the swearing-in, and trying to mobilise Kenyans into a revolution, state officials said at the time.

In a statement issued soon after the High Court ordered government officials to ensure Miguna is facilitated, Immigration Department Director-General Alexander Muteshi said will not be barred.

“This is to confirm that in compliance with court orders issued on December 14, 2018, the Directorate will facilitate Dr Miguna’s entry into Kenya,” Muteshi said.
