It must be opposed and if they arrest any of us, the same. Kajwang did not play any role in the swearing-in. I\u2019m the one who signed the oath and conducted it,\u201d he told the press a day before his arrest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they want to look for the person who is responsible it is me and Odinga. Let them come for us!\u201d he yelled.<\/p>\n<p>Miguna accused the government of being despotic saying that he was ready to face any criminal proceeding in court over his role in the swearing in of Odinga.<\/p>\n<p>Details of Miguna\u2019s whereabouts since his arrest on Friday remained scanty with unconfirmed reforms indicating that he was being held in Lari, Kiambu County.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Luka Kimaru on Monday ordered NPS Inspector General Joseph Boinnet and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations chief George Kinoti to produce Miguna in court at 9 am on Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb 5 &#8211; The government on Monday evening restored broadcasts for KTN News and NTV, following a court order issued last Friday.
