A Member of Parliament allied to the opposition has claimed there is a plan to arrest NASA leader Raila Odinga.
Mathare Member of Parliament, Anthony Oluoch, has said that the ongoing arrests of key opposition politicians is a ploy to eventually arrest Raila.
Oluocho further dared the State to go ahead and arrest the opposition chief.
The MP at the same dared the police to go ahead and arrest Odinga, if indeed thatis their game plan.
“My thinking is that they have no problem with Aladwa and Miguna (Miguna) –another opposition politician who was arrested on Friday – they only are testingthe waters to see if they can arrest ‘Baba’ (Raila Odinga). I want to dare them togo ahead (and arrest Odinga),” he said.
He was speaking on Saturday after securing the release of Makadara MP George Aladwa for his role in Raila's swearing-in.
Mr Odinga is on the spotlight for his recent move to swear himself in as the‘People’s President’.Prior to Odinga’s oath taking.
Earlier, the Attorney General Githu Muigai declared such actions as high treason, punishable by death.
