Miguna was arrested on Friday morning.

Milimani High Court Judge James Wakiaga on Friday ordered the immediate release of NRMs Miguna Miguna.

Miguna was also ordered to appear in court in person on Monday next week. The court in a ruling also granted Mr Miguna a Sh50,000 cash bail. The self-declared National Resistance Movement (NRM) General Miguna Miguna was arrested on Friday morning, shortly after he raised the alarm on a police raid at his home.

The Director of Criminal Investigations Mr George Kinoti confirmed that he was arrested for administering an illegal oath and being a member of NRM, a proscribed organisation.

“He (Mr Miguna) publicly declared that he is the general of NRM, which is already declared a proscribed group. By the time he declared publicly, there was a gazette notice by the minister. How can we let it go? We are law enforcers,” said Mr Kinoti.

He added: “He also said he is going to lead people to burn portraits of a democratically elected president. Then what do you expect from us? He also confessed he is the one who administered the oath.”
