Late IEBC ICT manger Chris Msando. [Photo/Standard]A section of Kenyans online have expressed their disappointment with the police following the arrest of a 17-year-old girl suspected to be linked to the murder of Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) ICT Deputy Director, Chris Msando.Police said the girl was arrested in Awendo, Migori county on Wednesday, after she was caught with a mobile phone alleged to have sent threatening messages to Msando.
She later appeared before the Kiambu Juvenile Court. The court allowed police to hold her at the Muthaiga Police Station for seven days as police continue with the investigation.The detention of the teenager has been criticised by a section of Kenyans who feel the police are holding the wrong person yet the real killers are still enjoying their freedom.Below are responses from some twitter users:
