The dramatic arrest of renowned blogger Dennis Itumbi is meant to divert attention from the alleged assassination plot against Deputy President William Ruto, Laikipia Women Representative Cate Waruguru has said.
Speaking on Friday, Waruguru said that the move by detectives from the office of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to arrest Itumbi was not necessary.
The lawmaker asked DCI George Kinoti to ensure the alleged plot is probed with immediate effect to determine the truth behind it. She insisted that there is no reason to arrest people who are not directly connected to the investigations as the main suspects walk scotfree.
“What we are seeing is the arrest of people who are IT specialists being arrested and put behind bars. Also, what now we are investigating is the source of the letter rather than investigating and finding out whether what was contained in the letter is true or not. My brother DCI Kinoti you are my neighbour in Laikipia and I love you. I am telling you this...some of these men will land you in trouble. They will make people despise you," said Waruguru.
The vocal MP further urged the DCI to name the cabinet secretary and principal secretary behind the assassination plot.
