Police Raid Citizen TV Headquarters to Arrest MP

Kiharu MP, Ndindi Nyoro, is being sought after by police after a confrontation between him and nominated MP Maina Kamanda.

The police had camped along Maalim Juma outside the Citizen TV offices on Sunday night, where they lay in wait for the MP who was scheduled for an interview on Inooro TV, a Royal Media based station.

On his part, the legislator barricaded himself inside the studios while the police waited for him in their cruiser outside.

"I pray that you will provide me with a chair, where I will sleep tonight, I am very innocent and the arrest is politics related.

"I will not be moved by anyone just because my parents are people who are not popular, I trust God but most importantly, today, I will sleep here,"a visible shaken Nyoro stated.

It is alleged that over several MPs are on their way to the media house to stand in solidarity with him, with Dagoretti South MP John Kiarie alias KJ and his Kandara Constituency counterpart Alice Wahome already spotted at the scene.

"We are friends of Ndindi Nyoro. The state cannot be seen to be working to fight those elected by the people of Kenya. As his friends, we will stand with him," KJ asserted.

Nyoro is wanted by the police to clarify an allegation he made against Kamanda, whom he claimed had bribed the police in Kiharu on Sunday, September 8.

The two caused a commotion and disrupted a church service at Gitui catholic church in Murang'a county.

Nyoro, who managed to address the media outside the church, revealed that Kamanda had not acknowledged his presence as agreed.

"Protocol was not observed. If you are an MP of an area, you are the one to introduce the MPs there. Maina Kamanda didn't do as we had agreed," he told journalists.

He further alleged that Kamanda had not consulted him as the MP on matters development in the county.
