Please deport me too: Views of a frustrated Kenyan citizen

I was born in Kenya, I don’t know how many moons have passed since then, but I guess quite a number. That makes me a Kenyan, by birth, at least I thought that was the case until they decided to deport Miguna Miguna, not once but twice. Dragging, harassing, torturing and even drugging just to get rid of him like a dog gone rogue.

Maybe I misread the constitution, can’t claim that am a good reader. In the course of the two or so decades that I have been a tenant of this country, the only motherland that I have known, the only home that my parents gave me, I have never ever heard of a government that claims to be elected by people, for the people, deporting its own citizens.
