Suna East MP Junet Mohamed has laughed off his arrest, terming it a cowardly act by the Jubilee government.
The ODM director of elections was on Friday arrested while on his way to Migori from Kisumu.
In a statement he issued on Saturday, the MP said his arrest and charges were not going to stop him from "the redemption of my beloved country".
"The state of our nation is exacerbating by the day. It saddens me to say but our country is bleeding from all openings ... This nation is in Intensive Care Unit."
He argued that the government is currently focusing on the wrong priorities, adding that cases of insecurity and corruption have gone rampant without the State's attention.
"The worsening state of the economy is enough to validate the looting of public resources by leaders in this administration ... criminals freely pounce on innocent people ... and they want us to keep quiet," the MP added.
He expressed optimism that that Jubilee is going to lose in the August 8 elections due to the continued suffering of citizens.
"People are not fools after all. They will unequivocally reject them at the polls as a sure payback for their recklessness and crass ineptitude."
The MP was similarly arrested a year ago over hate speech allegations.
