By LILLIAN MUTAVIMore by this AuthorPolice are holding in custody an Independent presidential aspirant Peter Solomon Gichira for allegedly attempting to commit suicide after he was disqualified by Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). Mr Thuku said that when he found out that IEBC rejected his bid, he broke a window pane of the 6th floor and attempted to jump out before two officers rescued and arrested him. Mr Thuku said the politician will be arraigned in court on Monday over charges of attempting to commit suicide and malicious damage to property. Mr Watima claimed that Mr Gichara has been harassed since he announced his bid to vie for the Presidency. According to Mr Muriuki, the suicide claims against his boss are not true saying that it was a fabrication of the police.
