What no one expected was the melodrama that ensued at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on Monday that climaxed with the attempted deportation of the self-styled general of the so-called National Resistance Movement (NRM) to Dubai.

After an eight-hour stand-off that involved the intervention of NASA leader Raila Odinga, Dr Miguna lost the battle to re-enter the country.
