Inside the plans for Miguna Miguna's grand homecoming

The grand event will be financed by well-wishers and Kenyans from all walks of life who have come together to fundraise for the homecoming.

Despite being in exile, the lawyer has been a dominant player in Kenya's politics, using social media where he has a huge following to indulge in issues of national importance and criticize the Jubilee administration.

The fundraising initiative which went viral on social media has been defended by Miguna who assured Kenyans that he only associates with "people of integrity" and the funds will be used for his homecoming.

A flyer inviting Kenyans to donate for the course indicates various options on how one can contribute.

"They are not conmen. They are honest Kenyans trying to raise funds legally from those willing to give freely in order to accord me the homecoming they are planning. There is nothing dishonest about that. I only associate with people of integrity. And this is integrity," he Tweeted on Saturday.

The exiled lawyer chose to return on October 20, a day that the country will be celebrating Mashujaa day.

Previous attempts to get into the country were futile despite numerous court orders until President William Ruto ascended to power.
