“President William Ruto, the President of the Republic of Kenya and Commander In Chief of the Defence Forces, earlier this morning APOLOGIZED to me on his behalf and on behalf of the Government for the brutality inflicted upon me by the previous regime. I accept the apology,” he stated.

Miguna had been deported to Canada where he is also a citizen following his role in the unofficial swearing-in of opposition leader Raila Odinga as “the people’s president” back in 2018.
He finally returned to the country on October 20, 2022, after Ruto facilitated his return.
Prior to his return, the lawyer was at constant loggerheads with former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration over his citizenship.
