United Democratic Forum (UDF) leader Musalia Mudavadi visited Lamu Governor Issa Timamy in police cells yesterday and claimed his arrest is a cover-up to conceal police incompetence following the killings in Mpeketoni two weeks ago.
The Amani coalition leader called for a commission of inquiry to unearth the real culprits behind the violence that claimed 65 people. However, leaders from Coast were divided on whether the arrest was justified. Mr Timamy was arraigned in court on Thursday. Police said he is being investigated for murder, forcible transfer of populations and terror-related offences.
