MASSIVE ARREST OF MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT

Massive arrest of Members of Parliament from both sides of the political divide has been the contemporary issue since yesterday and still trending in the media airwaves after the victims made statements that are tantamount to hate speech. This has driven the attention of Kenyans from the IEBC fiasco to the rising political temperatures as the clock ticks towards 2017.
On one hand, Machakos Senator Hon Johnstone Muthama, Suna East MP Hon.Junet Mohammed and the fiery Kitutu Masaba MP Hon.Timothy Bosire are the CORD bureaucrats who are currently being held at the CID headquarters in Nairobi waiting to appear before the Kilimani law court today Wednesday 15,2016.On the other hand, the Jubilee affiliate MPs who are sailing in the same boat are: the notorious Gatundu South MP Hon Moses Kuria,Kabet MP Hon Ferdinant Waititu and Bahati MP Hon.Kimani Ngunjiri.
The loudest was Hon.Moses Kuria's claim that 'Raila Odinga should be killed'.This did not auger well with the 'compact majority' of Kenyans in the political spheres, commercial fields, civil society, religious sector as well as the mere citizens. Kuria's sentiment seems to have thrown a spanner in the works with the CORD strongmen like Hon Johnstone Muthama, Junet Mohammed and Timothy Bosire commandeering the war platform in an effort to prevent the Jubilee bark-dog from meddling and tinkering with Raila's personal life.
Too furious were the CORD affiliate victims to the point of using abusive terms in their response to the Jubilee mouthpiece,talk of paying one in his own coin. However, at the end of the day, both the statements from the Jubilee and CORD affiliate MPs were tantamount to hate speech and so they had to be handcuffed and frogmarched to the CID headquarters to record statements.
Senator Johnstone Muthama was accompanied by Senators James Orengo(Siaya) and Omar Hassan (Mombasa) to the CID headquarters. However, he had earlier been placed under house arrest after the police sorrounded his house in Gigiri. The police officers did not allow any movement into and out of his home. Senator Omar Hassan and ODM Communication chief Phil Etale were the only few of Senator Muthama's guests who were allowed by the police into his home before Muthama's lawyer Senior Counsel James Orengo arrived.
Also, there was drama yesterday outside Nation Centre where a heavily armed Flying Squad officers waited for Hon Junet Mohammed. They timed him as he was headed for an interview after fruitless search for him at his home on Monday. However, there was a brief scuffle during the arrest as the police wanted to take the MP to CID headquarters along Kiambu road in their own vehicle but James Orengo, Junet's acting lawyer,insisted on taking his client for questioning.
To hell with the arrest of CORD brigades, the police went for Kitutu Masaba MP Hon.Timothy Bosire who was also joined by a battery of lawyers. Bosire represents the same constituents as the second liberation hero George Moseti Anyonya (one of the famous seven beheaded sisters in the 1970s)
CORD has so far prepared a barrister of lawyers in defense of their people. In addition, the opposition bigwigs Rt Hon. Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka have questioned the government's swiftness in arresting the opposition MPs who stood in defense of Prime minister Raila Odinga and its sluggishness in apprehending the Jubilee MPs like Moses Kuria and Bahati MP Hon. Kimani Ngunjiri who claimed that 'Luos should be ejected from Nakuru' following Raila's grand march to Nakuru to meet his party officials at Donnie Hotel and his address of a mammoth rally at Mkarafuu Grounds.
