Embattled lawyer Miguna Miguna turned his gaze to outgoing Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i and his Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho.
In a statement shared on social media, the exiled lawyer stated that he was determined to recover up to Ksh7 million from the leaders after being awarded damages by the Kenyan Court.
He then told them to contact his lawyer about the payments and gave them an ultimatum.
“To Fred Matiang’i, Karanja Kibicho and Major General Gordon Kihalangwa: You are hereby directed to contact my advocate, Adrian Kamotho Njenga, and sort out the damages and costs the High Court and Court of Appeal awarded me in the various cases I won since 2018. Do so promptly before I land,” Miguna stated.
The exiled lawyer added that red alerts should be issued against CS Matiang’i and PS Kibicho claiming that the two had committed crimes.
“Whatever goes around comes around. The mafia-like Fred Matiang’i, Kibicho and Kihalangwa issued red alerts against me for more than 4 years. Now is their turn to contend with red alerts for crimes they committed against Kenyans,” he remarked.
The lawyer was awarded monetary damages for the numerous times government officials ignored orders to facilitate the activist’s return.
Lawyer Nelson Havi launched a campaign to ensure that the funds are paid to him in full shortly after receiving his passport allowing him to return.
“Another big score for the rule of law. The decree for the payment of damages of Ksh7 million by Matiangi, Gordon Kihalangwa and George Kinoti jointly and severally should now be enforced against the three,” Havi stated.
Dr. Miguna in June this year sued Matiang’i and Kibicho in Canada, demanding Ksh1.7 billion in compensation for damages incurred during his expulsion.
He testified in court that his 2018 deportation had injured his reputation and business.
The outspoken lawyer added that the fee would cover damages such as illegal detention, assault, and slander, among other things.
