Sakaja claims life in danger over revenue sharing stalemate

Date:

Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja has claimed is in danger.

He says police officer attempted to abduct him ahead of the controversial revenue sharing formula debate which he has been vehemently opposing. Sakaja said he had spent the entire morning of Tuesday, August 4, in the basement in his car right from 5.30am to midday so that he could make it to House for the debate.

Speaking at Senate proceedings, Sakaja said he heard there reports to arrest him, which some of his colleagues were privy to so that he could not make it in the Upper House. The senator further dared anyone who wanted to arrest him to do so since he had managed to vote against the motion since he did not fear “to spend time in cells”. “The objective was to ensure I don’t come here to vote by stalking my home, now that I have voted, they can come and arrest me,” he said.

Although the senator did not identify when and where he spotted the officers, he said they drove away after he blew their cover. “National Police Service, kindly advice your six officers who’ve been trailing me all afternoon in a white Isuzu KBZ 317X to have some more tact. If they want a presentation on the formula that unites Kenya, give them my number. I’m available. They sped off when I blew their cover,” he said.
