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.

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.
