Netizens have sympathized with Nakuru Town East MP David Gikaria after photos that showed him in a sorry state surfaced online.
The lawmaker was arrested on Saturday after leading residents in erecting structures on a disputed parcel of land.
Nation reported that he also slapped a deputy sub-county police commander during the incident.
The MP was bundled into a police van and taken to Nakuru Central Police Station after the fracas.
It seems Gikaria sustained injuries during the commotion. Photos doing rounds online show him sleeping on the floor in his police cell.
Not only are his clothes disheveled, one of his shoes is also missing.
It's not the first time that the legislator has been apprehended over land-related matters.

Gikaria was charged with one count of conspiracy to defraud and seven counts of forcefully detaining land belonging to three people.
