Mbita MP Millie Odhiambo yesterday moved to court seeking anticipatory bail over her imminent arrest for her remarks against President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Her lawyer, Antony Olouch, appeared before High Court judge George Odunga. The judge refused to handle the case and instead directed Odhiambo to present her application to the criminal division of the High Court.
Odhiambo yesterday said she is traumatised and is undergoing psychological torture following threats by both police officers and unknown people.
“I am living in fear of imminent arrest on unspecified and state charges that I have no knowledge or information of whatsoever,” she said.
She alleged that she has received numerous calls with people threatening to arrest and prosecute her.
A man on Facebook threatened to shoot Millie while Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria also threatened to insert a broken bottle into Odhiambo for insulting the President.
On his official Facebook account, Kuria on Tuesday night castigated Odhiambo.
Ms Odhiambo alleges she is currently traumatised and is undergoing psychological torture from alleged threats from Mr Kenyatta's supporters.
She has sued the Director of Public Prosecution, the Interior Cabinet secretary, the Inspector-General of Police and the Attorney-General.
