Drama as MCA breaks leg while resisting arrest in Machakos

There was drama at the Machakos Law Courts on Wednesday as a Member of the County Assembly suffered a broken leg as he tried to resist an arrest by the county inspectorate.

Boniface Maeke, the MCA for Kalama Ward, had gone to the Machakos court in solidarity with Douglas Musyoka, his Masii/Vyulya counterpart who was arrested on Tuesday on accusations that his homestead in Machakos was not built per county government regulations.

Maeke was singled out from his colleagues outside the court where he was forcefully arrested and whisked by over six men but resisted entering the county vehicles.

The MCA suffered a broken ankle in the incident and was escorted by Machakos OCS to the police station where he recorded a statement and was later taken to the hospital.
