Kapseret MP Oscar Kipchumba Sudi has opposed the arrest of Nandi Governor Stephen Sang.
On Tuesday, Sudi claimed that Sang was only championing for the interest of his people when he stormed Kibwari tea farm and destroyed tea crops alleged to be planted on grabbed land.
The land in question involved former gubernatorial aspirant Henry Kosgei.
According to the vocal lawmaker, restraining orders were obtained from a High Court in Eldoret at 2 p.m but the Nandi Governor was driven to Kisumu's Director of Criminal Investigation offices to record a statement where he was later locked up.
This according to Sudi, is unfair and unjust.
"Henry Kosgey is my great friend and I even relate well with his family. He is a wise leader who performed very well when he was serving people of Tinderet and Nandi at large. I personally hold a lot of respect for him, however, I wish that justice could be served to people of Nandi." Sudi noted in a Facebook post.
Sudi hit out at a section of leaders in Nandi for doublespeak. "Governor Stephen Sang might not have undertaken the repossession of Kaburet Cattle Dip land in a good manner but it was within his mandate as the Governor to champion the interests of the people of Nandi."
"What is shocking in Nandi, is the way some leaders ganged up against the Governor yet they promised residents of Nandi that they will lead in repossession of all grabbed lands across Nandi County.
This is a very sad scenario especially to people of Nandi Hills Constituency, Alfred Keter campaigned promising to end the operations of the cartels and grabbers in Nandi but he was seen the other day siding with the people he promised to fight against," stated the Kapseret MP.
