Mukurwe-ini MP John Kaguchia is being held at Kamukunji Police Station in Nairobi following his arrest on Monday. His legal team said they had not been formally informed of the reasons for his arrest. They also alleged that detectives confiscated the MP’s mobile phone and initially restricted access to him. The MP’s arrest came after he spent the night at Royal Media Services premises, where he had remained following a television interview amid fears that detectives were planning to arrest him over remarks he allegedly made on political matters. The arrest has sparked criticism from a section of political leaders, who accused the government of applying the law selectively and targeting some politicians for political reasons.
