Drama ensued in Eldoret after residents blocked police from arresting Kapsaret member of parliament Oscar Sudi.
Heavy police contigent was spotted at at Kapsaret center near the MPs house, moments after he addressed a meeting in Eldoret town.
In a tweet Sudi said ‘’Once again Police Officers have been spotted in Kapseret Shopping Centre searching every car that passes by. I understand the sleuths are coming for me. #AllMothersAreEqual’’
security agents arrived at Mr Sudi’s home at around 8:30pm and camped outside his home until 7.10am on Saturday. The whereabouts of the MP remains unknown.
However, police were forced to fire tear gas as hundreds of angry villagers used logs and rocks to block all roads in a bid to stop the officers from arresting the legislator.
In another tweet sudi said “Must they deploy more than 100 police officers to arrest me? What crime have I done to these people? I wish they used the same energy to arrest the Covid-19 millionaires”, said Sudi in one of his several tweets.
After camping at the house for eight hours, the police officers drove away without the MP.
Uasin Gishu women rep Gladice Shollei, who was at the scene, protested, complaining that Sudi had been in Eldoret during the day but was not arrested.
It’s the same police officers who licensed the meeting he held in Eldoret and we are wondering why they have turned up at night at his home causing unnecessary tensions in this area,” she said.
Few people were injured including a security guard at the MPs home.
The defiant MP is being sort to in accusation of hate speech and the latest attack to president Uhuru and first family mama Ngina Kenyatta.
