Another man with ties to Raila Odinga reportedly was arrested tonight, sparking more outrage from the opposition who claim the government is rounding up their leaders. Ndegwa Njiru, a constitutional lawyer who has courted controversy, claims that his client, former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga, has been detained and is being held at a secret location.
Since yesterday, numerous leaders of the Azimio coalition have been arrested, with few facts available about where they are being held or what led to their detention. The whereabouts of Embakasi East MP hon Babu Owino, who was arrested yesterday, remain unknown, as reported by the Azimio coalition.
Ledama Ole Kina, a senator for Narok County, and Hon. Mwangi wa Iria, a former governor of Murang’a County, both claimed that police had broken into their homes in an attempt to apprehend them. The opposition is demanding that the government free their leaders so that the demands for demonstrations will die down.
The principal hon of the Azimio alliance, Raila Odinga, has been conspicuously absent from today’s demonstrations, prompting this speculation about his whereabouts. Many people in the country are concerned about his whereabouts and whether he was, like other leaders, detained and taken to an unknown location.
