KANU condemned the act, calling for his immediate release or his presentation in court if any legal charges exist.

As a party, we have dispatched our lawyers to report and pursue the matter at the nearest police station in Embakasi East,” the statement read in part.

“We unequivocally call on the authorities to produce Mr. Ronoh in any court of competent jurisdiction to stand trial if he is deemed to have committed any offense under the law.”
