Police are reportedly searching for Opposition Chief Raila Odinga's aide, accused of locking up officers from the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC), at Odinga's Capitol Hill office in Nairobi.
Raila's Spokesman, Dennis Onyango, allegedly committed the offense while attempting to keep the officers from serving Mr Odinga with summons.
The incident degenerated into a dramatic scene, after EACC officers called for reinforcement from the Flying Squad and Kilimani Police Station, claiming that they were being held hostage at the former Premier's office.
Responded to the call, police officers and the EACC detectives, used their cars to block all exits at the building, trapping Mr Odinga in his office.
After a short press conference at his office, Mr Odinga left the building with several leaders of the Coalition for Reform and Democracy (CORD) on foot, stating that he would not be compelled to do anything against his will.
Mr Odinga stated that he was aware that whistle blowers were protected. He added that if the government wanted anything from him, “they must be civil".
“EACC is supposed to be independent. That’s why it should be headed by commissioners but does not have them. It is like a chicken without a head,” he said.
