Two journalists IRENE Mugo and Lydia Nyawira were arrested on Monday while on duty in Nyeri County.
Irene Mugo and Lydia Nyawira who work with Daily Nation and the Standard respectively were arrested for interviewing a man who was wearing an “anti-Ruto slogan – Kitaeleweka” branded T-shirt during Deputy President William Ruto’s Church service in the county.
The two are currently behind bars at Mukurwe-ini police station. This incidence has elicited mixed reactions from Kenyans on Twitter.

The song stirred a heated debate about the Mt. Kenya support for DP Ruto's 2022 presidential bid.
