The High Court has issued orders stopping the police from arresting or detaining two MPs as part of the probe into the funding of the Gen Z protests. Embakasi North MP James Gakuya and his Embakasi Central counterpart Benjamin Mejja Donk were on July 31 picked from Parliament buildings and questioned over the matter. Other Gachagua allies including three aides have also been questioned in connection with the funding of the protests. Gakuya and Mejja Donk have since moved to court to stop their arrest in relation to the matter. Justice Chacha Mwita has since issued orders stopping the arrest and detention of the two lawmakers.
