Gatundu South Member of Parliament Gabriel Kagombe will be held at the Muthaiga Police Station until Friday, June 7.
His detention was announced on Monday, June 3, after the MP was arraigned in court after being involved in a shooting incident.
Kagombe, who was appearing before a court in Machakos County, will take his plea on Friday in relation to the shooting.
While at the Machakos Court, Kagombe pleaded not guilty leading to the detention.
Notably, the MP was accompanied by officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) who liaised with other security authorities to maintain peace at the courthouse incase some of the MP's supporters caused chaos.
The MP, who is allied to the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), was accused of shooting dead a resident in Thika, Kiambu County, last month.
Kagombe was arrested on Friday in connection with the fatal shooting of the boda boda rider.
The May incident was a result of an argument that arose between two political parties. The argument escalated resulting in a physical altercation between the members where one of the residents was shot dead.
It is believed that the violence erupted after the leaders arrived at the area for the construction of the Kiganjo market.
Some of the residents at the scene, when the incident occurred, captured the running battles and insults hurled by members of each group.
Videos that have now gone viral show police officers attempting to quell the violence to no avail. Officers used tear gas to split up the groups but the violence continued.
Other leaders who were present rushed into their cars and drove away as residents fled to safety.
MP Kagombe on the other hand was in the company of his supporters while also attempting to restore peace. In the midst of the chaos, the rider was shot and lost his life.
