Azimio leaders drawn from far and wide have remained in solidarity at a time when most of them are facing government onslaught for spearheading mass protests which were declared illegal by police earlier yesterday.
Siaya county governor James Orengo has joined the list of such unflinching leaders after he set on a journey to Kiambu police station where senate minority leader Stewart Madzayo, his national assembly counterpart Opiyo Wandayi among others are currently detained after they were arrested in town during the morning hours.
Before Orengo’s arrival, lawyer Danstan Omari led a bandwagon of Azimio legislators to Kiambu police station to check on their colleagues. While at the station, Omari and Rarieda MP Otiende Amolo decried the arrests terming them as extrajudicial.
The lawyers also accused the police for engaging in fishy antics by transferring the arrested legislators from one police station to another for no reason.
According to Omari, the arrested leaders were first kept at Central police station in Nairobi before being sneaked away into Kiambu police station.The whereabouts of other detained leaders remaining unknown.
Meanwhile, cat and mouse games between the police and protesters are currently ensuing in town with Azimio leaders vowing that they will not back down from the protests.
After patiently waiting, the Azimio coalition party leader Raila Odinga has also arrived in the city but his motorcade is finding it hard to access the city centre due to numerous police barriers.
