Nakuru Town East MP David Gikaria has claimed that the police tortured him following his dramatic arrest on Saturday.
Speaking on Monday to journalists, Gikaria said he suffered serious injuries while at the hands of the DCI officers.
The MP was arrested on claims that he attempted to resist arrest and assaulted a police officer by slapping him.
Gikaria who was in a Naivasha Court on Monday was notified that his case will be heard on Monday, May 27, 2019, where he is expected to be charged.
Speaking outside the court, the MP said the officers violated his rights when he was assaulted and denied medical treatment.
Gikaria who had sustained injuries on his left hand and right leg claimed that he was assaulted by ten officers.
The MP who also had a neck brace questioned why no action has been taken against the officers who assaulted him while he was in police custody.
“I was tortured by the DCI officers who arrested me. I was also subjected to inhumane conditions and, at one time, I passed out.”
“I was held in a leaking corridor for close to five hours yet at the time, it was raining heavily,” said Gikaria as quoted by nation.co.ke.
Following his arrest, photos were doing rounds online of the MP who was seen lying on the floor in a room believed to be a police cell.
