Didmus Barasa’s arrest
The newly elected MP has gone into hiding following the alleged murder of Mr. Brian Olunga following a confrontation with his political rival in Kimilili.
Even though orders for his arrest were issued, the Legislator continued to celebrate his win on social media before he eventually surrendered. He termed the deceased a member of hit squad who was sent from Nairobi.
Earlier, he had obtained anticipatory orders from the High Court blocking his arrest pending investigations by the relevant authorities.
