Speaker Wetangula orders Ichung'wah to report on Gabriel Oguda's whereabouts in 2 hours

During parliamentary proceedings, Minority leader Opiyo Wandayi claimed receiving a call at 2:30 am from Oguda who said that police officers were breaking into his house. 

Wandayi noted that his attempts to gather a battalion of lawyers proved futile as his phone calls were jammed. 

He called on the Speaker to wield his power and ensure Oguda alongside other activists who were captured are released. 

“I was unable to make or receive phone calls until 6:30 a.m. They broke into his compound, broke his house’s door and abducted him,”  Wandayi divulged and noted that frantic efforts to search for him inside police stations in Nairobi were in vain.  

“We do not know his whereabouts and don’t take it lightly.”

In a rejoinder, Majority leader Kimani Ichung’wah committed to follow up on the matter with Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome to determine whether Oguda is in police custody. 

“Let us not create an impression that MPs are immune to the law, we must all be treated equally. Let me commit that as soon as we’re done, I will check with the police IG whether the said officer is in the hands of the police so that we avoid speculations,” Ichung’wah said. 

Wandayi also listed seven other youth who were abducted in the past week including Osama Otero, Drey Mwangi, Temper CR7, Harriet, France, Shad Khalif and Wordsmith. 

He called on IG Koome to reveal the whereabouts of the listed Kenyans. 

The anti-Finance Bill protests continued in the second week as the youth took to the streets to demonstrate against the bill. 

This has led to running battles between police officers and demonstrators throughout the CBD.
