Three armed presidential security men were busted at the home of Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi after the police broke in to arrest the legislator over the crimes of hate speech and incitement.

The mission of the three officers attached to President Kenyatta's security unit was not clear.

Uasin Gishu Police Commander Gishu Johnstone Ipara who led the operation into the vocal lawmaker's home, confirmed the presence of the president's security team.
