Former Bomet Governor Isaac Ruto has weighed in on Nairobi's Governor Mike Sonko's arrest by terming it crude.Speaking during an interview at K24 on Sunday, the CCM party leader said that there was no need for all the mistreatment that Sonko went through.According to Ruto, he has never seen any governor refusing to honour a summon."I have never seen a governor refuse to honour summons. It was crude the way they arrested Sonko," Ruto said.
The former Bomet Governor said that the officers used a lot of force when capturing Sonko.
"Sonko was manhandled. There was crude use of force," he added.
This comes after Governor Sonko released a statement narrating how he has been summoned by the DPP four times and he did not fail to avail himself.
Therefore, he relates the actions of his arrest to be politically masterminded. However, he has encouraged his supporters to stay calm.
The Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) has said that he has enough evidence against Sonko with his accomplices over the embezzlement of Sh357 million shillings.
