Nimrod Mbai, a member of parliament for Kitui East, was detained on July 5 for assaulting a Kenya Power employee.
Days after being shown in a viral video slapping the engineer who allegedly disconnected electricity at his Kitengela house, the legislator was arrested in Mavoko.
A few hours before to his detention, Kitengela-based police conducted a raid on his home and seized KPLC cables and a metre box.
It was a typical Monday afternoon when the news broke that Nimrod Mbai, a UDA MP, had allegedly assaulted a Kenya Power staff member. The news spread like wildfire across social media and news outlets, leaving many Kenyans wondering what had happened.
Eyewitnesses claim that the MP, who had gone to the Kenya Power office in Voi to address some concerns, got into a heated argument with one of the staff members. The argument reportedly turned physical, with the MP allegedly punching and kicking the staff member.
The incident also highlighted the growing issue of political violence and the need for leaders to be held accountable for their actions. It remains to be seen what action will be taken against the MP, but one thing is clear – Kenyans are demanding justice and accountability for this appalling incident.
He should serve as a an example to other rogue members of Parliament who thinks they’re above the law.
As expected, Kenyans were outraged by the incident and took to social media to express their anger and disappointment. Many condemned the MP’s behavior, calling for him to be held accountable for his actions.
However, some UDA supporters defended the MP, accusing the Kenya Power staff member of provoking him. This sparked even more outrage among Kenyans, who felt that the MP should have handled the situation in a more professional and peaceful manner.
