Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen had called for Opposition leader Raila Odinga’s arrest “for committing treason during his swearing-in as the people’s president”.
“We want to revisit Odinga’s criminal activities. He committed a treasonable act. It doesn’t matter how many votes he got. He is not immune to prosecution,” he said.
But ODM leaders Edwin Sifuna, Rongo MP Paul Abuor and Nairobi Woman Rep Esther Passaris dared Murkomen to follow through with his threat.
“Murkomen is an embarrassment to the lawyers of this country. He should know what constitutes treason. He should be the last person to attack the DCI. We have not forgotten how his law firm was revealed to have benefited from the NYS I scandal,” said Mr Sifuna.
Energy Cabinet Secretary Charles Keter also recalled Raila’s hand in his and Ruto’s firing from the Cabinet during the Grand Coalition Government.
“The cure now is for Rift Valley resident to register themselves as voters and prepare to vote overwhelmingly for Dr William Ruto in the 2022 General Election,” Keter said.
