His arrest has led to an uproar among various leaders, with Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen, incensed by the latest incident.

"Mheshimiwa Johanna Ng’eno has been arrested while on -meet the people tour-in his Narok county. Accused of holding a meeting without the permission of BBI secretariat. Meanwhile, the hate mongers are roaming freely. It can’t get crazier and foolish than this," the senator tweeted.

State House digital strategist Dennis Itumbi, sided with senator Murkomen, joking that opposing the BBI was now a punishable crime.

"As a friend puts it there is a new crime in town..any person who publishes or utters any statement, rumour or report against BBI and which is likely to cause the public not to support BBI is guilty of a misdemeanour.... very well," he tweeted, going on to share a video of the arrest.
