Embakasi East Member of Parliament (MP) Babu Owino has demanded a written apology following his arrest on Monday.
Through a post on his Facebook account, Mr Owino demanded an apology from everyone who demonstrated against him for allegedly insulting President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Mr Owino, however, stated that he owed nobody an apology over the remarks he made against the President.
The post read, “I demand a written apology from all those who unlawfully demonstrated against me falsely.I owe nobody an apology. No reforms No elections."
On Monday, Kiambu residents took to the streets calling for the arrest of Owino over derogatory remarks he directed at President Kenyatta.
The demonstrators barricaded roads, lit tire fires and chanted anti-Babu Owino slogans in Kiambu Town. Similar protests were also held on Thika Road and in Githurai.
