Kisumu governor condemns brutal arrest of FDC members in Kenya

The governor of Kisumu County has condemned the violent arrest of 36 Ugandans by security forces on the outskirts of Kisumu City and smuggling them back to Uganda.

Different media outlets in Kenya on Wednesday reported that the visibly angry Prof Anyang Nyong’o questioned the rationale behind the arrest from the Catholic Church-owned Ukweli Pastoral and Development Centre, Kisumu, and demanded immediate answers from the Kenyan and Ugandan police.

The 36 FDC party members were reportedly seized by security forces suspected to be from both Uganda and Kenya who broke into their hotel rooms and grabbed their phones, laptops, and other gadgets and hastily brought them back to Uganda.

Prof Nyong’o said: “Although the County Government of Kisumu has no link with the politicians, we condemn in the strongest terms possible the Human Rights Violations meted out against them while within the Territory of Kisumu County.”
