Juja Member of Parliament George Koimburi is currently being detained at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters along Kiambu Road.
Confirming the arrest was Kiambu County Senator Karungo Wa Thang’wa who posted on social media saying, “DCI at it again. They have arrested Juja MP George Koimburi. Reason? They are yet to say!”
Thang’wa further revealed that the lawmaker had been intercepted by DCI detectives on his way to Parliament on Tuesday morning.
Kiambu Senator stated that he had received a phone call from Koimburi as he was being led to the Kiambu Road Headquarters although he had not divulged the reasons for the detainment
According to Thang’wa, the detectives had not informed the MP why he was being taken in, leaving him to fathom if it was a legitimate arrest or an abduction.
City attorney Ndegwa Njiru also confirmed the arrest, taking to social media to state that the MP was being held at the DCI headquarters and that he was representing him.
“I am at the DCI headquarters representing Hon. Koimburi, who has been arrested for stating the obvious—that Kasongo spent over Ksh13 billion on Raila’s AUC botched mission. What’s wrong with calling him to account? Is it that the truth hurts?” Njiru stated.
Koimburi made the said remarks during a church service, accusing the President of using taxpayers’ money to coerce African Presidents to vote for former Prime Minister Raila Odinga as the chairperson of the African Union Commission
“Kenyans are worried after witnessing public funds being poorly utilised to bribe individuals so that they can vote in Raila Amollo Odinga as the new chairman for AU in Addis Ababa. It is such a shame,” Koimburi stated.
