Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has credited divine intervention for his acquittal in a contempt of court case stemming from Miguna Miguna’s 2018 deportation. The Court of Appeal set aside previous findings and fines, citing procedural errors by the High Court.

• The Court of Appeal ruled on September 19, 2025, overturning convictions and personal fines of Ksh.200,000 each.
• The individuals involved were Dr. Matiang’i, then Immigration Principal Secretary (Rtd) Maj. Gen. Gordon Kihalangwa, and former Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet.
• The Appellate Judges found that the High Court had imposed sanctions "without a formal motion and due process safeguards."
