Nairobi, Kenya: Former Budalangi MP Raphael Wanjala, his lover Joyce Akinyi and three others were Tuesday night arrested over drug trafficking claims at Isinya along Nairobi-Namanga highway.
The five were carrying a white powder from Tanzania when they were arrested at a roadblock.
Police say they are yet to know the nature of the drugs and if the powder is a narcotic.
Head of anti-narcotics unit Hamis Masa says they are detaining the five for further investigations.
"We arrested them with a powder that we think is a drug. The powder has been sent to government chemists for further tests and analysis," said Masa.
