Soy Member of Parliament Caleb Kositany and his Kapseret counterpart Oscar Sudi honoured police summons and presented themselves to the Nakuru DCI offices on Sunday. 

Media reports indicated that the Uasin Gishu County Speaker David Kiplagat was at the DCI offices during morning hours.

The two are currently being interrogated as the police try to uncover whether the politicians were behind the planning of an incident where the ODM party leader Raila Odinga's chopper was on Friday, April 1, stoned. 

The legislators had denied the allegations of organising the chaotic incidents, noting that the DCI's move to single them out was a political move. 

They noted that they were ready to write a statement to the DCI offices in order to prove their innocence in the matter. 

On Saturday, the DCI named MPs Kositany, Sudi and Uasin Ngishu county speaker Kiplagat as the main planners and funders of the violence meted on the ODM leader.

They were summoned to appear before the regional coordinator on Sunday at 9am.

Sudi in his statement said he was not around when the incident occurred.

He also rubbished it as a move by their political competition to provoke them. 

"This is politics but it will end," Sudi said.
