The Linda Mwananchi movement has condemned the arrest of Trans Nzoia County Assembly Deputy Speaker and Matisi Ward MCA Obed Mwale, describing it as politically motivated.
Mwale, who is also the movement’s Senate aspirant for Trans Nzoia County, was arrested by armed police officers in Kitale on Monday and later taken to Kapenguria Police Station in West Pokot County.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Linda Mwananchi Head of Communication and National Secretariat Pauline Njoroge said the arrest was part of a wider scheme to intimidate and silence the movement’s leaders.
