“Those CECs, directors, suppliers contractors and county assembly officials are currently holed up in Nairobi, Kisumu and Migori. As soon as we forward those names, we will expect the police to act with speed to arrest the individuals so that law and order can be maintained and justice not subverted in Nairobi,” the statement read further.
ODM’s Secretary General Edwin Sifuna was later accused of leading a team of goons who assaulted Migori County Speaker Boaz Okoth in his Kisumu home.
