Major highway passing through Mathira Constituency remained inaccessible after marauding youth supporting MP Rigathi Gachagua lit bonfires.
The youth played a game of hide and seek with law enforcers drawn from police stations in the constituency as they protested the arrest of their MP by DCI early in the morning.
The youth blocked the Nyeri-Nairobi highway at various points disrupting transportation activities.
The motorists were forced to suspend their movement as the police, the youth and some drunkards in running battles as they put off the bonfires.
John Njoroge said the youth got irritated after the law enforcers moved in the Gachagua’s rural home after 5am.
” It is shameful to arrest the MP in such a manner instead they could have summoned him to any police station,” said Njoroge.
Hundreds of motorists including public service vehicles were forced to use the longer routes to reach their destinations to avoid the rowdy youth.
The MP will be arraigned in court on Monday on counts of abuse of office and money laundering , as he was relocated him to Gigiri Police Station from DCI headquarters.
