NAIROBI: The political rivalry in Narok County that led to deaths and injuries following violent protests took another twist Wednesday afternoon with arrests and a night in the cells for five Members of Parliament who took part, one of them a senator. In what could be the biggest number of serving politicians to be thrown into the cells in one day certainly a different experience for Kenyans, the leaders were locked up at Muthaiga Police Station, Nairobi.
Those detained by the Criminal Investigations Department are Narok Senator Stephen ole Ntutu (senator) and four local parliamentarians: Moitalel Kenta (Narok North), Korei Lemein (Narok South), Patrick Ntutu (Narok West) and Johanna Ng’eno (Emmurua Dikkirr).
