The legislature was arrested in the early morning of Monday, August 2 at his home in Kimilili and will be arraigned in court today to face charges of causing grievous body harm.
According to the Police, they received a P3 form from the musician after the July 30 drama witnessed at Baptist Lurare Primary Schoo
On Friday, July 30, Didmus Barasa was set to commission five new classrooms built at Baptist Lurare Primary School through National Government Constituency Development Fund (CDF) at Kamukuywa, Kimilili.
Drama erupted after Barasa found out that musician Steve Kay together with one Ronald Graham had locked up the new classrooms demanding a cheque of Ksh3.4 million for construction fees before handing over the new classrooms.
However, hours after the video footage of Barasa slapping the contractor went viral on social and mainstream media, the controversial MP crafted a different story about the incident saying he did not commit the act.
Speaking at Namasanda Primary School in the same constituency shortly after the drama, Barasa said he only approached the contractor to inform him to zip up his trouser but he ran away thinking he wanted to beat him.
“…Kwa vile ni raifiki yangu nikaona nikama alienda kujisaidia na alikua hajafunga zip. Mimi naona gari yake ndogo iko ndani hajafunga nikasema wacha nikimbie nimwambie garage yake iko empty funga duka. Sasa wakati nilienda kumuambia hivo akatoroka mbio akafikiria naenda kumpiga.
