South Mugirango MP Silvanus Osoro has been arrested at Gusii Stadium where the burial of the late Cabinet Minister Simeon Nyachae is ongoing.
Police have indicated that MP Osoro was arrested for allegedly planning to disrupt the funeral service.
Osoro, who is a close ally of Deputy President William Ruto, however, has claimed that the arrest had been set upon with political motives.
The arrest comes hours after Kisii Deputy Governor Joash Maangi was arrested at Kisii High School for unknown reasons.
Maangi was with other Tangatanga members awaiting to welcome Deputy President William Ruto to Nyachae's burial.
An aide to the deputy governor disclosed to Citizen Digital that detectives ordered Maangi to enter their car and drove him off the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) offices in Kisii for grilling.
“We don’t know why they arrested him, they did not give a reason why they were picking him. They only told him to enter their car before they left to Central Police Station where they are interrogating him,” stated the aide.
Both leaders were marched to the Kisii Central Police Station for questioning.
President Uhuru Kenyatta, his deputy William Ruto, Orange Democratic Movement leader Raila Odinga, Amani National Congress party leader Musalia Mudavadi and Kanu leader Baringo Senator Gideon Moi are all in attendance at Nyachae's funeral service.
