The Governor of the County of Busia has finally been arrested by police officers in Nairobi after a cat and mouse game.
Governor Ojaamong arrest was ordered by Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Hajji over charges of corruption.
The County Government of Busia has long battled allegations of corruption, allegations that the governor has strongly rebuffed.
Here is a sample of what Garissa residents had to say about the dramatic arrest:
''I am very happy that he has been arrested by the police. Those involved in corruption should not be spared regardless of their social status,'' Yusuf Buno.
''It should not stop there. Our courts should now ensure that he is thrown in jail,'' Hassan Bakre said.
''This is a warning to other governors who are stealing from public coffers,'' Dano Ahmed said.
''The resolve against corruption is commendable,'' Laila Medina said.
''Other governors should also be arrested. We have many of them engaging in corruption,'' Salo Mohamed said.
