Naivasha MP Jayne Kihara has been arraigned at
the Milimani Law Courts, hours after her dramatic arrest on Thursday.
She was brought to court under tight security
on Friday morning in a Subaru vehicle before being taken briefly to the court
cells.
The session attracted political attention,
with Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka among those present in solidarity with
the embattled legislator.
Kalonzo later addressed the press, terming the
arrest and arraignment as harassment and political intimidation.
The exact charges Kihara is facing remain
unclear, though they are believed to be linked to alleged inciteful statements
made on social media.
Her court appearance follows a raid by DCI
officers at her Maraigushu home in Naivasha, where she was arrested in an
incident streamed live on her Facebook page
