Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi has finally been arrested.
The MP was picked by police officers at his home in the night.
Confirming his arrest Uasin Gishu Women Rep Gladys Sholei condemned the police action saying in Kalenjin culture if you go to someone’s house you are akin to declaring war.
Ms Sholei who doubles as Sudi’s lawyer wondered why the police were not brave enough to arrest him during the day yet they even allowed him to hold a rally within Eldoret town.
Sudi himself has since Thursday been saying through his Twitter account vehicles belonging to police parked at his gate.
He added that two lorries ferrying police officers were patrolling at Kapseret shopping centre.
“They have jumped over the fence, fired five rounds of bullets, and they have since disconnected power in the whole compound.” he posted.
The MP has been on the headlines for his speech against President Uhuru Kenyatta and his family including Mama Ngina Kenyatta.
Sudi has refused to apologise over his remarks which drew countrywide condemnation with leaders accusing him of uttering inciting and abusive remarks against the president’s family.
He termed all those condemning him over the remarks as “conmen and looters”. While issuing the remarks that caused the outcry, the MP dared the police to go arrest him at his home.
Sudi’s home is located near the Kapseret center along the Eldoret-Kisumu road.
President Kenyatta came out on Wednesday evening during a tour of projects in Ruaka, telling those insulting his mother to go and insult their own mothers and leave his alone.
“Go and insult your mother and leave mine alone”, Uhuru said.
