    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. To save on time, I will skip what the Hon. Senators had asked and go straight to the answer. I wish to state as follows: Following the 30th January, 2018, administration of oath - to commit a capital offence, namely; treason, contrary to Section 59(a) of the Penal Code at Uhuru Park Nairobi, a search warrant was obtained at Milimani Law Courts, Nairobi on 1st February, 2018. On 2nd February, 2018, the warrant was executed and Miguna Miguna was arrested from his Runda residence for commission of the above offence. On the 6th day of February, 2018, he was arraigned before the Resident Magistrate Kajiado Court and charged with the following offences:- (1) Count 1: 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; (2) Count 2: Taking part in an unlawful assembly, contrary to Section 5 (11) of the Public Order Act, Cap 56 Laws of Kenya; (3) Count 3: Engaging in organized criminal activity, contrary to Section 4 (1) of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act No.6 of 2010. The accused objected to a plea to the above charges and the Kajiado Court ordered that he be produced before Justice Kimaru or he be released on the same day. The police were unable to produce him before the said Judge due to the traffic between Kajiado and Nairobi. However, he was released from police custody. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mr. Joshua Miguna Miguna was transferred from the initial police station due to his concerns on his own security and the tension the arrest was generating. Mr. Miguna Miguna was extradited from Kenya to Canada on 6th February, 2018 under the following circumstances and reasons:- (1) According to Government records, Joshua Miguna Miguna was born on 31st December, 1962 in Nyando, present day Kisumu County. (2) Mr. Joshua Miguna Miguna is a Canadian citizen. It is evident from his travel records that he acquired Canadian citizenship between the year 1986 when he fled the country to 2009 when he applied for a Kenyan passport; The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
