Friday, the 1st of March 2013 - Two men were last night arrested for distributing ‘propaganda’ leaflets against Prime Minister Raila Odinga. The men are to be arraigned in court later today.
Confirming the arrest Central police boss Robinson Mboloi said his charges had come upon the leaflets on Haile Selassie Avenue and Uhuru Highway while on patrol last night.
Mboloi said his officers had been able to trace the printing of the leaflets to a warehouse in River Road;
"We arrested a man who had in his possession a number of leaflets and will be taking him to court on hate speech related charges,” he said.
Mboloi added that the leaflets seek to paint Raila in bad light over his alleged involvement in various scandals;
"There are a number of leaflets within the CBD we recovered those talking about Triton, Molasses and the Cord alliance,” he said.
The leaflets also attempt to show that the partnership between Raila and his running mate Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka cannot work.
The second of the two suspects was later arrested at Kilimani.
