FACTS IN SUPPORT OF PETITION

10. On 2nd February, 2018, at about 6.00 am, a group of about thirty four
heavily armed men forcefully broke into the Petitioner’s home located
at 486 Runda Meadows in Runda Estate in Nairobi by using an
explosive detonator contrary to the law and without prior legal
notification, proper identification or at all or warning to the Petitioner
including why they had forced their entry. The Petitioner would only
learn later in the day that these invaders were police officers and/or
agents of and persons under the control and direction of the 3rd, 4th and
5th Respondents. In fact, for the entire duration the Petitioner was
under illegal detention, the 5th Respondent was in-charge and
personally directed what had to be done with the Petitioner.

11. They used explosives to break into the gate to the Petitioner’s home
and his main door. They destroyed property and ransacked the
Petitioner’s house, before they abducted him by forcing him into a car.
They drove him first to Kiambu Police Station, then moved him to
Githunguri Police Station and later to Uplands-Lari Police Station
where he was held for most of the time he was in detention. Between
Friday February 2, 2017, when he was moved to Uplands-Lari Police
Station he was held incommunicado and in deplorable conditions. He
was subjected to torture cruel and inhumane treatment for all the
period of his detention. He was only given food twice during the entire
period of detention, made to stand for very lengthy period, forced to
5

sleep on cold cement floor without provision for any beddings, at
times denied access to washroom and was threatened with death by
the police officers, including by the 5th Respondent and was constantly
insulted and rebuked by police officers.

12. The Petitioner would finally be moved to Internal Container Depot


Police Station before he was taken to Kajiado Law Courts on 6th
February 2018 to answer to charges of:

a. Being present and consenting to the administration of an oath to


commit a capital offence namely treason contrary to Section 59(a) of
the Penal Code;
b. Taking part in unlawful assembly contrary to Section 5(II) Of the
Public Order Act; and,
c. Engaging in organized criminal activity contrary to Section 3(a) as
read with Section 4(1) of the Prevention of Organized Crime Act
No. 6 of 2010.

13. At no time, prior to the invasion of his home and even during the time
the police remained in the house and during the entire time of the
detention of the police before appearing at the Kajiado Law Courts was
the Petitioner informed of the reasons for his detention and or arrest.
Prior to, and at the time of invasion of his home, the police never
informed the Petitioner of their intention to enter and never requested
permission to enter or search his house. In fact the individuals who
violently broke and entered his home and house on 2nd February, 2018,
never identified themselves to him or anyone else before or at the time
of break and entry and for the period they remained at his home.

14. On 2nd February, 2018, Justice Wakiaga heard an Application brought


by the Petitioner seeking anticipatory bail/release and granted him a
Kshs. 50,000.00 cash bail. He ordered that he appear before him on 5th
February 2018.

15. The 3rd and 4th Respondents refused to release the Petitioner as ordered
although they were duly served with the Order of the Court. This
necessitated Justice Kimaru to issue two other Orders to compel the 3rd
and 4th Respondents to release the Petitioner and eventually finding
the two Respondents in contempt of Court. Justice Kimaru issued
similar Orders on 6th February, 2018, specifically requiring that the
Petitioner be released to his Court. On 6th February, 2018 the learned
6

Judge remained in his Chambers until 7.00 pm to ensure that he was
available for the Petitioner’s release.

16. Earlier in the day on 6th February, 2018, and despite Justice Kimaru’s
Orders of 5th February, 2018 that the 3rd and 4th Respondents produce
the Petitioner in his Court at 9.00 am, the 3rd and 4th Respondents (who
were duly served by the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions)
violated the Orders and together with 5th Respondent instead drove the
Petitioner to Kajiado Law Courts where they presented the above-
named charges and attempted to have the Petitioner charged.
However, the RM at Kajiado ordered the 3rd and 4th Respondents to
present the Petitioner to the High Court in Nairobi to comply with the
Orders of Justice Kimaru. The Honourable E. Mulochi, RM also
required that the Petitioner be brought to his Court for plea on 14th
February, 2018.”

17. Instead of producing the Petitioner as ordered by the High Court and
the Magistrate Court, the 3rd and 4th Respondents continued to detain
the Petitioner driving him to the Airport and conspiring with the 1st,
2nd, 5th, 6th and 7th Respondents, to illegally remove him from Kenya
after the 1st Respondent issued illegal orders ostensibly revoking the
citizenship of the Petitioner and classifying him as a prohibited
immigrant. At all material times up to the point when the Petitioner
was forced by the Officers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Respondents
(under the active command of the 5th Respondent) to Board the Royal
Dutch Airline Flight KL 0691, the Petitioner remained in the active
custody and control of the 1st to 6th Respondents.

18. At no time prior to being notified that he was being classified as a


prohibited immigrant and his passport confiscated was the Petitioner
notified of the intention of the 1st Respondent to do so. After exiting
Kajiado Law Courts on 6th February, 2018, the Petitioner was denied
any contact with Counsel, intermediary or family member. In fact he
was, until the time he was forced to board the flight held
incommunicado.

19. The Petitioner is a Kenyan citizen by birth born in Magina village on


the shores of river Nyando in the Kano Plains, Kisumu County. Both
his parents – his father Joshua Miguna Jomune and his mother
Margaret Sure Miguna (now both deceased) were Kenyan citizens by

7

birth. The Petitioner also holds Canadian citizenship acquired through
registration.

20. The Petitioner is an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya, admitted in


2008 and a Barrister and Solicitor in the Province of Ontario, Canada.
He has been of good standing with the Law Society of Kenya and the
Law Society of Upper Canada for the respective duration of his
admission to the bar. He actively practices as an Advocate in both
jurisdictions.

21. The Petitioner owns a home in Runda Estate Nairobi and in Kisumu
County. Most of his family members reside in Kenya.

22. The Petitioner served as public officer and specifically as a Permanent


Secretary and Constitutional and Legal Adviser to the Grand Coalition
government between 2008 and 2012 and undertook many official
foreign missions on behalf of the government of Kenya. In 2017, the
Petitioner was one of the candidates cleared by the Independent
Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to run for the position of
Governor, Nairobi County. The Petitioner was also an aspirant in 2007
general election for Nyando parliamentary seat during the Orange
Democratic Party (ODM) primaries. He has voted in all the last three
Kenya’s general elections.

CONSTITUTIONAL/STATUTORY BASIS RELATING TO PETITION


& GROUNDS FOR THE PETITION

A. The Rule of Law and Good Governance

23. Article 10 of the Constitution establishes rule of law and good


governance as some of the principles of governance. These principles
are reflected in many parts of the Constitution, including Article 2
which provides that any law or action that is in contravention of the
Constitution is void to the extent of the contravention.

24. The rule of law and good governance principles requires that every
state organ or officer acts only within the powers conferred on them by
and in accordance with the constitution. But the principles also require
state organs/officers discharge legal obligation required on them by
the Constitution or any other law. Critically the rule of law requires

8

state and public officers to act in accordance with the law, including
and without equivocation, following Court orders.

25. The rule of law requires that any action undertaken by a state
organ/officer be based on the law. Even where a public officer
exercises authority based on discretion, pthat discretion has to be
exercised in compliance with the rule of law principles.

26. Under Article 153(4)(a) requires Cabinet Secretaries to “act in


accordance with this constitution”. Article 156(6) states that the
Attorney General “shall promote, protect and uphold the rule of law
and defend the public interest.”

27. Specific to the National Police Service, Article 244 of the Constitution
provides:

244. The National Police Service shall—

a. strive for the highest standards of professionalism and discipline


among its members;
b. prevent corruption and promote and practice transparency and
accountability;
c. comply with constitutional standards of human rights and
fundamental freedoms;
d. train staff to the highest possible standards of competence and
integrity and to respect human rights and fundamental freedoms
and dignity; and
e. foster and promote relationships with the broader society.

28. Article 19 concerns the observance of the Bill of Rights and provides:

a. The Bill of Rights is an integral part of Kenya’s democratic state and


is the framework for social, economic and cultural policies.
b. The purpose of recognising and protecting human rights and
fundamental freedoms is to preserve the dignity of individuals and
communities and to promote social justice and the realisation of the
potential of all human beings.
c. The rights and fundamental freedoms in the Bill of Rights—
i. belong to each individual and are not granted by the State;
ii. do not exclude other rights and fundamental freedoms not
in the Bill of Rights, but recognised or conferred by law,
9

except to the extent that they are inconsistent with this
Chapter; and
iii. are subject only to the limitations contemplated in this
Constitution.

29. Article 21(1) is instructive stating that it “is a fundamental duty of the
State and every State organ to observe, respect, protect, promote and
fulfil the rights and fundamental freedoms in the Bill of Rights.”

B. Citizenship and Right to Citizenship


30. The Petitioner was born a Kenyan, of Kenyan parents and is entitled to
Kenyan citizenship by birth on account of the provisions of Article 14
of the Constitution.

31. The Petitioner did not lose his constitutional right of citizenship upon
acquiring a Canadian Passport as he duly acquired a Kenyan Passport
and National Identification Card in accordance with Article 14(5) of the
Constitution.

32. Under Article 16 of the Constitution, the Petitioner could not lose his
citizenship on account of the Canadian passport.

C. Right to fair hearing


33. The Petitioner was arrested and charged before a Court of law and was
entitled to a hearing on the charge levelled against him as required by
Articles 50(1) and (2) of the Constitution and the right was infringed
when the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Respondents unlawfully removed
him from the jurisdiction in a purported deportation exercise.

VIOLATION OF THE CONSTITUTION AND THE LAW

34. TO THE EXTENT THAT the 1st Respondent working in concert and
with the acquiescence of all the other Respondents, purported to cancel
the Petitioner’s citizenship, revoked and confiscated his passport and
designated him as a member of a prohibited class and a prohibited
immigrant, and eventually removed him from Kenya, the Respondents
and particularly the 1st Respondent acted in excess of his powers and
violated the Petitioner’s right to citizenship, his rights to identity
documents including a passport, and his right of movement, to enter,

10

and reside anywhere in Kenya as provided for in Articles 12, 14 and
39(3) of the Constitution.

35. TO THE EXTENT THAT the 1st Respondent working in concert and
with the acquiescence of all the other Respondents, purported to cancel
the Petitioner’s citizenship, revoked and confiscated his passport and
designated him as a member of a prohibited class and a prohibited
immigrant, without according him to the due process contemplated in
the Constitution, Immigration Act and the Fair Administrative Action
Act, and particularly the rights contemplated in Articles 47, 48 and
51(1) of the Constitution, the Respondents violated the Petitioner’s
rights to due process of the law.

36. TO THE EXTENT THAT the Respondents refused to accord the


Petitioner his right to counsel ad to give him notice of the intended
adverse action that was being taken against him and further failed to
provide him with reasons or any articulable reasons for taking the
adverse action, the Respondents exacerbated the violations of the
Petitioner’s right under Article 47s, 48 and 51(1) of the Constitution.

37. TO THE EXTENT THAT the Respondent’s detained the Petitioner


without justification and without informing him of the reasons of
detention, held him in deplorable and inhumane condition, threatened
him with death and physical harm, denied him food and basic
sanitation services, the Respondents violated all the Petitioner’s right
protected in Article 29 of the Constitution on freedom and security of
the person.

38. TO THE EXTENT THAT the Respondents acted illegally and without
due regard of the constitution and the law, the effect of their violation
is to deny the Petitioner his right to dignity (Art. 28); freedom and the
security of the person (Art. 29); property (Art.40); socio-economic (Art.
43); family (art. 45) rights of a detained person, arrested and persons
held in custody (Art.51) and all other rights that flow with the right to
citizenship.

39. TO THE EXTENT THAT the Respondents undertook all the


enumerated illegal and arbitrary action against the Petitioner in total
disregard of numerous Court Orders that required them to present the
Petitioner before Courts, the Respondents acted in total violation of the
constitutional rule of law and good governance provisions in Article 10

11

and those specific to each of the Respondent, they abused their office
and violated the requirements of integrity in Chapter Six of the
Constitution and the Public Officers Ethics Act 2003. Moreover, the
skewed interpretation of the constitution and the law, failure to follow
basic requirements of the law to serve the ends of their political
benefactors is also a violation of the rule of law and good governance.
In the circumstances Dr Fred Okengo Matiang’i, Rtd Major Gordon
Kihalangwa, Joseph Boinett, George Kinoti, Mohamed Said and Prof
Githu Muigai are unfit to hold public office.

40. TO THE EXTENT THAT the Respondents undertook all the


enumerated illegal and arbitrary action against the Petitioner in total
disregard of numerous Court Orders that required them to present the
Petitioner before Courts, the Respondents acted in total violation of the
constitutional rule of law and good governance provisions in Article 10
and those specific to each of the Respondent, they abused their office
and violated the requirements of integrity in Chapter Six of the
Constitution and the Public Officers Ethics Act 2003 the charge sheet
and entire proceedings against the Petitioner before the Chief
Magistrates Court at Kajiado Law Courts in Criminal Case No. 174 of
2018, Republic v Miguna Miguna are unconstitutional, unlawful and
cannot stand.

THEREFORE, THE PETITIONER PRAYS AS FOLLOWS:-

a. That a declaration be and is hereby issued that the action of the 1st
Respondent purporting to cancel the citizenship of the Petitioner,
revocation and confiscation of his passport and other identity
documents and the declaration that he was a member of a prohibited

violation of the Petitioner’s right to citizenship including those
