Police spokesman Charles Owino has spoken on arresting Jubilee MP Kimani Ngunjiri after he led a demonstration against President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Allegations had it that police were hunting for the Bahati MP after launching 'mshenzi' movement in reaction to President Uhuru Kenyatta's utterances on Monday.
It was claimed that Kimani had gone into hiding after police were put in strategic areas awaiting to arrest him.
However Owino refuted the reports citing they won’t give the MP unnecessary mileage.
On Tuesday, Kimani Ngunjiri led demos in the streets of Nakuru town after Uhuru reprimanded Mt Kenya leaders over criticising his government.
He expressed his disappointment with the "washenzi" remarks, a salvo by Uhuru towards him and Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria.
Wearing a white t-shirt branded "Mimi ni mshenzi. Je, wewe mwana Kenya? (I am a fool. What about you Kenyan), Ngunjiri engaged supporters in the streets.
He voiced his support for Jubilee lawmakers agitating for more development projects in Mt Kenya region.
Chanting one of Jubilee's rallying call during the 2017 election, Kumira kumira (massive turnout), the MPs supporters added a twist by adding "washenzi (idiots)" as the response.
The rioters equally identified themselves as #TeamWashenzi, in a bid to express their displeasure with Uhuru's remarks.
