Ruto, in a statement shared on social media said that Kenyans did not wake up early to go and vote for Jubilee so that it can use police to Frustrate them.
“The abuse of police and criminal justice to bully citizens, threaten and intimidate leaders and now blackmail senate is wrong. Very wrong. It’s NOT the reason millions woke up early to vote for us,” Ruto said in a tweet.
Matiang’i appeared before the Senate Committee on National Security where he denied any involvement in the Arrest of the three lawmakers.
