President William Ruto's troops have called for the civilian arrest of opposition chief Raila Odinga for leading the ongoing nationwide street protests. Led by Kimilili MP Dismus Barasa, Kenya Kwanza lawmakers asked their supporters to arrest Raila if the police fail to do so within 24 hours. "If the police do not arrest Raila within 24 hours, we want to ask our supporters, Kenya Kwanza supporters, to arrest Raila and take him to the nearest police station," Barasa said. Failure to do so, Ruku said they will start a forum and trigger processes to have their supporters arrest the opposition leader and his troops. "For your safety, we urge all motorists plying the Westlands-Mlolongo route to exit from JKIA and Mlolongo-Westlands bound motorists may safely join the road from JKIA Toll Station," the statement read.
