Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale Thursday lashed
out at the Cabinet Secretary for Interior, Mr Joseph Nkaissery
and the acting Inspector General of Police Samuel Arachi
following the arrest of five MPs over the chaos that rocked
Narok County.
Addressing a news conference at County Hall in Nairobi, Dr
Khalwale said the arrest amounted to “intimidation of political
leaders” for leading their constituents to a protest. He asked
the Cabinet Secretary to drop the charges against the leaders.
“The answers that Nkaissery and Arachi should be giving
Kenyans is what went wrong during the demonstrations to an
extent that people died. They were supposed to provide
security to the demonstrators, they cannot turn around and
arrest leaders for their failure to provide security,” said
Khalwale.
Speaking a day after Narok Senator Stephen Ntutu and MPs
Moitalel ole Kenta (Narok North), Korei ole Lemein (Narok
South), Patrick Ntutu (Narok West) and Johanna Ng’eno
(Emurua Dikirr) were arrested, and the day on which they were
charged in court, the Kakamega senator said the security
bosses had to apologise for the arrest and the chaos.
