Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Kitui East Member of Parliament Nimrod Mbai has been released by police hours after his arrest at Kitengela police station. The MP was arrested and taken to Kajiado court but the prosecution refused to admit the charges and demanded more statements from witnesses.<\/p>\n

The MP was driven back to Kitengela police station where he was disarmed of his gun and later recorded further statements in the company of his lawyer.<\/p>\n

Police informed him he would later be charged with assault. He was released on a Sh50,000 police bond pending a court appearance on July 11 in Kajiado. Mbai is a licensed firearm holder.<\/p>\n

He is also a former police officer. He once worked as the bodyguard to foreign affairs Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua when he was the government spokesman.<\/p>\n

Mbai resigned from police to join politics. Police told him he is under probe for now hence their actions to confiscate his gun. He was Monday on July 3, 2023, caught on camera slapping a Kenya Power engineer.<\/p>\n

Mbai also reached for and tucked his gun which was falling during his fit of rage. In response to the incident, agitated KPLC workers staged a peaceful protest from the company’s offices in Epza to Kitengela police station Wednesday, condemning the incident.<\/p>\n

The visit of the electricity workers was prompted by an outcry from the neighbourhood, where it was reported that the electricity had become dim and faulty.<\/p>\n
