There was outrage in Mombasa after police arrested a man who allegedly delivers tickets to SGR commuters seeking to travel to Nairobi via the newly launched train.
John Ogutu was on Saturday arrested at his business premises on what police said was 'acting as an SGR ticket booking agent without having a valid license'.
Ogutu was then detained at the Miritini terminus police station where he recorded a statement before being released on a Sh20,000 bond.
Police said he will be arraigned on Monday.
However, social media users protested the arrest through the #IStandwithWasonga on Twitter.
They argued that the vendor saves commuters the hustle of fighting to get the SGR tickets.
They hailed his business idea where he delivers the Sh700 tickets to the commuter's doorsteps.
