Deputy President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga have condemned the arrest of three senators hours before they could take part in a vote on the county revenue-sharing formula on Monday.

Ruto said the use of police officers in the drama was wrong, as Raila questioned the events surrounding the arrest of Cleophas Malala (Kakamega), Christopher Langat (Bomet) and Steve Lelegwe (Samburu).
