The reason for the arrest has not yet been determined.
Last month, the Senator caused a commotion at the Milimani Law Courts after a spat with the trial magistrate.
The senator, who is facing hate speech charges, was arraigned on March 29 in a hearing that was overshadowed by his refusal to allow the court to cross-examine a witness without the presence of his lawyer. Cherargei requested a reschedule because his attorney was in another court.
His arrest follows the arrest of Nairobi County Assembly Speaker Mutura by DCI officers on Wednesday, April 20, for alleged theft.
