Embakasi East MP Paul Ongili alis Babu Owino has lamented police manhandling him at the Pangani law cells.
Owino accused police of using street children to harass and intimidate him.
He was arrested over what was termed as abusive remarks on President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Police say he referred to the president as a 'mtoto wa mbwa' (loosely translated as son of bitch).
Earlier, students from the University of Nairobi were in endless running battles with anti-riot police as they protested Babu's arrest.
Police statements earlier indicated that Babu was to be charged with assault, an crime he allegedly committed when vying for the Students Organisation of Nairobi University (Sonu) chairman’s seat last year.
