Two people who are suspected of heckling President William Ruto during his rally in Bomet over the weekend have been taken into custody.
\nBomet County Commissioner Ahmed Omar confirmed the arrests, saying the two are being held in police custody and are scheduled to appear in court tomorrow.
\nThe commissioner added that more suspects, including politicians, were being sought after for their roles in the heckling.<\/p>\n
“We want to inform the public that we have done enough investigations and some of the investigations will continue. We have made two arrests so far and they are currently in police custody. We have more leads for others which we are following we believe that the two arrested will be taken to court tomorrow.<\/p>\n
“We are following three groups of people, the planners the financers and those on the ground. We have evidence of some who were injured and we have information that some are trying to run away,” he said.<\/p>\n
“We want to warn them that we have enough information on them and we are following them closely. We also warn those who have intentions of heckling in the future,” he added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The latest comes after Interior Cabinet Secretary (CS) Kithure Kindiki ordered police and security agencies to go after organisers and financers of the heckling.<\/p>\n
Issuing the orders on Monday, March 18, 2024, the CS asked police to arrest all perpetrators involved regardless of their political standing,<\/p>\n
“You must expeditiously conclude investigations into the recent incidents and apprehend all persons who organise, finance, and orchestrate hooliganism in the county,” Kindiki stated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
