On February 26, 2020, Narok Senator Ledama Olekina was released after being interrogated at Kilimani Police Station over alleged hate speech during a Building Bridges Initiative rally.
According to Olekina, his arrest was a witch-hunt and Deputy President William Ruto was behind it. He made the claims while addressing the press after his release on Tuesday evening.
"The DP has a lot to prove on national cohesion. Ruto why the hell are you so angry? Whether it is the Mau issue, you are angry, whether it is Arror and Kimwarer dam, you are angry, BBI you are angry," charged the Senator.
Olekina was arrested in Nairobi on Tuesday morning over incitement allegations. He was picked up by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) as he left Royal Media Services studios on Lenana Road, Nairobi.
