The court has detained eight MPs for four days over incitement. Magistrate Daniel Ogembo upheld an application by the prosecution that the suspects be detained citing that the case is of great public interest. They were arrested on Tuesday and in the estimation of the investigators, four days are required to conclude the probe. They will be detained at Muthangari, Kilileshwa, Kilimani, Pangani, Gigiri and Muthaiga police stations. Woman representatives Florence Mutua (Busia), Aisha Jumwa (Kilifi) and Machakos senator Johnson Muthama were among suspects taken to Milimani Law Court over hate speech on Tuesday.
