Kisii leaders arrested in suspicion that they were to disrupt former chief secretary and finance minister Simeon Nyachae’s burial ceremony have condemned their incarceration.
The leaders who included deputy governor,Joash Maangi,South Mugirango MP Sylvanus Osoro and former Kisii mayor Samuel Omwando claimed police infringed their constitutional rights.
Speaking at Kiabogori during the donation of two school buses to Kiabogori and Nyagichenche secondary schools in South Mugirango constituency,the leaders vowed to sue the state for what they termed, arbitrary arrests.
They claimed,by arresting them for political reasons,the police were hardening their resolve towards supporting deputy president William Ruto.
Maangi who admitted that he was in the company of supporters to welcome Ruto when he was arrested,appealed to the government to respect his decision to hold divergent views.
Osoro disclosed he will not abandon the DP who had bought a bus for Nduru girls secondary school in the constituency besides meaning well for the development of the people.
He threatened to seek redress for his arrest and release without any charges being preferred against him.
But Omwando who had been apprehended twice separately,said he was fed up and will henceforth entrench himself in the Tanga Tanga political faction irrespective of any intimidation.
