Outspoken lawyer Miguna Miguna made public his contact details on Friday morning.
Miguna, who jetted back to the country on Thursday, apologized in advance that he might not be able to respond to all the texts and calls.
"The return to my motherland yesterday was historic. I had a fantastic first day and night. Thank you to all Kenyans who embraced and welcomed me back home. My new number is 075-707-7930," he said.
He also pleaded not to be added to any WhatsApp groups without his permission.
The lawyer had been in exile in Canada for almost 5 years and his several attempts to return to the country were thwarted during former President Uhuru Kenyatta's regime.
The self-proclaimed National Resistance Movement (NRM) leader was at loggerheads with the Jubilee administration following his role in the unofficial swearing-in of then-opposition leader Raila Odinga as the People’s President.
He claimed he was sedated and forcefully deported to Canada on March 28, 2018.
"I was dragged, assaulted, drugged and forcefully flown to Dubai," Miguna wrote in a Facebook post.
This was the second time he was taken out of the country to Canada, a country he also holds legal citizenship.
The government insisted that he was not a Kenyan citizen.
The second deportation followed his return after the first one on February 7 of the same year.
The government imposed red alerts after the second deportation, effectively making it impossible for the outspoken lawyer to travel back to Kenya.
Miguna claimed his passport was confiscated and destroyed and subsequent court orders to issue him with a new passport or travel documents were ignored by the Jubilee administration.
Top state officials including Interior CS Fred Matiang'i, PS Karanja Kibicho and then director of Immigration Gordon Kihalangwa were held in contempt for failing to facilitate Miguna's return.
But on September 20 this year, Miguna said the Ruto administration sent him a new passport and promised to lift the red alerts.
"1687 days after Uhuru Kenyatta, Raila Odinga, Fred Matiang'i, Karanja Kibicho and G Kihalangwa conspired to illegally seize and destroy my Kenyan Passport, President William Ruto has had a new one delivered to me. Waiting for the lifting of red alerts," he said.
