Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has been arrested just hours to the anti government protests by the Azimio One Kenya Alliance.
The MP was arrested at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) after landing from Mombasa.
“Have been detained by the DCI JKIA after my arrival from Mombasa.Currently under arrest,” he has confirmed.
Azimio is today set to start its third wave of anti government protests despite a warning by Interior Cabinet Secretary Kindiki Kithure.
Kindiki said yesterday that law enforcement agencies and national security teams are on the alert and have deployed all resources at their disposal to prevent scenes witnessed last Wednesday from recurring for the next three two days.
He said intelligence reports have corroborated media reports that showed the damage from the last week’s protests were widespread and that deaths witnessed will not be seen again under his watch.
“..national security agencies have deployed all available resources to ensure that scenes witnessed on Wednesday do not happen again. Anyone planning to unleash violence on Kenyans is hereby warned to cease and desist,” he said in a statement on Tuesday evening.
The CS dared those who doubt the state resolve to deter the demonstrations to try coming to the streets on Wednesday saying that they have a date with the law.
“Those who doubt government resolve to prevent further loss of life, injury, destruction of private and public property and degeneration of the country into anarchy have a date with the law enforcement agencies tomorrow, Thursday, Friday or any other day,” he said.
