Police denied CORD leader Raila
Odinga the chance to see detained CORD
politicians in remand.
Raila was turned away as he attempted to see
Suna East MP Junet Mohammed as well as
other CORD politicians currently in remand over
hate speech allegations.
Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama and MPs
Mohamed, Timothy Bosire of Kitutu Masaba,
Florence Mutua who is the Busia woman
representative and Aisha Jumwa the Kilifi
woman representative were held at various
Police stations in Nairobi while they await
Police investigations over the hate speech
claims.
Raila's attempt to see them was futile as he
was told they were out of bounds.
" We have been turned away," Siaya Senator
James Orengo told News24.
They have been remanded four days while
Police hold investigations over the hate speech
claims.
They were arrested and arraigned in court
Tuesday over claims of inciting Kenyans
against each other.
They have so far filed a complaint in court to
have their bond applications fast tracked so as
to see them leave the cells as soon as
possible.
