Senior Counsel Martha Karua has decried being denied entry into the neighbouring Tanzania alongside o lawyers, Lynn Ngugi and Gloria Kimani at Julius Nyerere International Airport
Taking to social media on Sunday morning, the vocal opposition member claimed that her passport had been taken and referred to a supervisor at the airport, and delayed.
The lawyer added she was unaware why she was receiving such treatment, despite being a prominent Kenyan who is a member of the East African Community (EAC).
“I arrived at Dar es Salaam Mwalimu Julius Nyerere International airport at nine am, and immigration referred my passport to the supervisor, who has kept me waiting for an hour as she consults her superiors. I am concerned that as a citizen of Jumuiya, my access within the East African Community (EAC) country appears inexplicably restricted,” she stated.
Karua who heads the People’s Liberation Party Leader, has been vocal about the oppression of opposition leaders in the region, was visiting the East African country over the detention of its opposition leader, Tundu Lissu.
