The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has confirmed the arrest of Jacaranda Bunge la Mwananchi leader Evans Kawala, dismissing earlier claims that he had been abducted. In a statement issued on Wednesday, May 27, detectives said the 33-year-old was arrested in Kayole, Nairobi, by officers from the Operations Support Unit over alleged inflammatory remarks targeting President William Ruto. The DCI termed Kawala’s viral online statements highly inciteful and a threat to public cohesion and national stability. His arrest followed comments linked to a recent security breach involving President Ruto in Ganze, Kilifi County. Kawala remains in custody awaiting arraignment.
