Two Members of Parliament allied to Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua were on Wednesday evening released from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters on Kiambu Road after being questioned over their alleged involvement in anti-government protests. Gakuya was furious over the move to arrest him and challenged anyone with evidence on the claims to table it. “We were also asked whether we were buying t-shirts and water, of which I believe that this is just political.”“They summoned us because we’re supporters of the deputy president. President William Ruto had previously termed the Gen Z-led demos as a peaceful process that had been hijacked by organised criminals, promising to bring the financiers to book. The mainly Gen-Z-led demonstrations have taken the government by surprise, with President William Ruto declining to sign the bill.
