Tension is high at Kamukunji Police Station as opposition leaders led by Kipipiri MP Wanjiku Muhia and lawyers demand the immediate release of Mukurweini MP John Kaguchia, claiming police had failed to comply with a High Court order granting him police cash bail.
Kaguchia, who was arrested earlier on Monday over alleged electoral offences and incitement, remained in police custody hours after his lawyers said the court had ordered his release on Sh100,000 police bail.
Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua in a post on his Facebook account said that the High Court had issued orders directing the Officer Commanding Station (OCS) at Kamukunji Police Station to release the legislator immediately upon payment of the bail.
