Alai was taken into custody at 9am as he was leaving for the burial of slain IEBC ICT manager Chris Msando in Siaya county.
He was arrested days after leaking photos of members of the Kenyatta family in a Nairobi hospital where President Uhuru Kenyatta’s mother, Mama Ngina Kenyatta, and uncle, George Muhoho were in a sombre mood at the hospital late at night.
The photos were however pulled down from Mr Alai’s Facebook page.
Mr Alai is the chairman of Nyayo Estate Residents Association, where Mr Msando lived with his family.
He was supposed to deliver a speech at the funeral in Lifunga village.
