What you need to know:

  • A section of Kapseret residents briefly blocked the main road leading to MP Sudi’s home on Friday night. 
  • The residents said they were resisting an attempt by police to arrest the MP. 
  • They insisted that they will not allow Mr Sudi to be seized at night as a contingent of police camped outside the lawmaker’s house. 

Drama ensued on Friday night when a contingent of police made an attempt to arrest Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi, an ardent defender of the Deputy President William Ruto, were blocked by rowdy residents.

The residents, who were armed with bows, arrows, clubs and machetes threatened to attack security officers outside the legislator's home. The officers were led by Uasin Gishu police boss Johnstone Ipara.
