World in brief: February 16
KENYA: Judge Luka Kimaru has rescinded the orders used to deport a politician to Canada for his part in a mock inauguration by opposition leader Raila Odinga.
Mr Kimaru ordered the government yesterday to return the passport of Miguna Miguna, who stood by Mr Odinga when he was sworn in as “people’s president” last month.
Mr Odinga claims that the results of the presidential election in August 2017 were tampered with and he boycotted its rerun in October.
