Nakuru Town East MP David Gikaria has been arrested after he allegedly assaulted a senior police officer over the eviction of matatus from town centre. His Nakuru Town West counterpart Samuel Arama said he had accompanied Gikaria to Nakuru Central police station, which also hosts the office of county police commander. "We were holding a meeting with the county commander at his office. The MP had an altercation with the commander who ordered his arrest,” said Arama.
County police commander Tito Kilonzi yesterday confirmed Gikaria's arrest and said the MP would be taken to court. “The MP came to my office, hurled insults at me and harassed me. He almost beat me up and I had to call in officers to arrest him," said Kilonzi.
