Saturday, December 29, 2018- Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen is on the receiving end from Kenyans on social media after protesting the arrest of two top lawyers on Friday.
Murkomen took issue with the arrest of Senior Counsel Prof. Tom Ojienda and renowned Constitution lawyer, Peter Wanyama who are accused of embezzling millions of Shillings from Mumias Sugar Company. The Leader of Majority in the Senate hit out at DPP Nordin Hajji and DCI boss for making arrests on Friday and accused them of violating the constitution. Suspects arrested on Friday are forced to spend the weekend in police cells as judges and magistrates who can free them on bond or bail are usually away. “The arrest of Peter Wanyama&Tom Ojienda and indeed many Kenyans on Fridays for cases which have been under investigation for weeks,months&even years is a violation of our Constitution&weaponization of the fight against corruption!” Murkomen posted on twitter. His post rubbed many Kenyans the wrong way and they took to twitter to call out his hypocrisy. See the post and reactions below.

It is a non issue when ordinary Kenyans are arrested on Fridays but the usual suspects finds it inhuman when that happens to well known individuals. There should be no one more equal than others under the law. Tom Ojienda.

So when should they be arrested according to you? Why were they arrested? Do you want to tell us the DCI is out of his mind.
Why don't you and your close allies hate fight against corruption? Do you know something we don't?

This is cheap propaganda at best. Investigations take long for various reasons, including actions of the corrupt that frustrate investigators. And there is no time limit on prosecution of crimes. Solution is to seek judicial remedies if such prosecutions are abuse of due process.
