Arrest Raila Odinga Not MCAs, Nairobi Azimio Ward Reps Dares State
A section of Azimio La Umoja Nairobi MCAs have given the government 12 hours to release Korogocho MCA Absalom Odhiambo Onyango Alias Matach Mobimba
The Group Led by majority leader Peter Imwatok, condemned the recent arrest of Matach
“Dictatorship is back, the Moi era is back. We want Absalom released unconditionally within 12 hours,”Imwatok said.
To this end, the MCAs are challenging government to arrest their leader Raila Odinga whom they are following his order.
“I want to challenge the entire government, you know who is supposed to be arrested. Kindly arrest Raila Amollo Odinga. That is the man who tells us to go right and we go,” Imwatok said.
The vocal MCA was picked by the DCI sleuths at the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) offices where he had been summoned over alleged incitement remarks.
He was accompanied by his lawyer Apollo Mboya and Imwatok at the time of the arrest.
His arrest comes after a viral video captured at the Kamukunji rally where he allegedly uttered incitement words.
He was thus summoned by the Rev Samuel Kobia-led commission which stated that such comments created unnecessary tension that if not well managed could plunge the country into chaos.
According to Imwatok, when he arrived with Odhiambo at the NCIC offices in Upperhill at Britam there were no officials to receive them.
“ We sat more than one hour and when the officers came they said there was no problem and they wanted to serve Mattach with a summon letter to appear before them on Wednesday,” he said.
