Homa Bay Town MP Peter Kaluma wants the Canadian embassy in Nairobi to confirm if indeed lawyer Miguna Miguna was deported to the foreign country.

He said in an interview on Wednesday that the opposition is worried about Miguna's whereabouts, especially after the government repeatedly violated his constitutional rights by disobeying court orders.

"The NASA coalition will approach the Canadian embassy and confirm on what grounds Miguna Miguna travelled to Canada and his whereabouts," Kaluma told KTN.

He said the recent events in the country should bother the Judiciary more than it bothers the citizens.

The government has confirmed that it kicked Miguna out of the country days after he was arrested over the oathing of NASA leader Raila Odinga.

Authorities used his Canadian citizenship to force him to fly to Canada just hours after the court ruled that police release him immediately.

"The Judiciary worked very hard to follow the law and we thank it but it should be worried by this trend," he said.

In another KTN interview on Tuesday night, lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi said Raila's oath-taking did not amount to treason as his people's president role is "imaginary" and only aimed at appeasing his supporters.

NASA leader Raila Odinga yesterday warned that the country was slowly but steadily becoming lawless and described repeat the presidential election won by Uhuru Kenyatta as a “coup”.

Raila spoke as the passports of 15 close allies were revoked by the government in a continuing crackdown on the Opposition.

He asked the international community to be objective when dealing with the Kenyan situation, which he called a circus.

"The only solution to this circus is a fresh election," he said.

In his last communication before leaving the country on Tuesday night, Miguna said he will fight the grievous violation of his rights by the Jubilee government.

"The despots have put me in a flight to Amsterdam en route to Toronto, departure time right now."

"Instead of taking me to court as ordered repeatedly by the courts, they seized my passports and drove me to the runaway at the JKIA from 6 pm up to now," Miguna said in a tweet moments before he left JKIA.
