Tuesday, March 7, 2023 –Azimio biss, Raila Odinga, was forced to dash at the Directorate of Criminal Investigation DCI headquarters on Tuesday March 7 following a standoff between Dr. Fred Matiang’i and the detectives.
Just minutes after visiting the Senate to receive his dividends at noon, Odinga quickly drove to the DCI offices where he joined other opposition-allied leaders in demanding for Matiang’i’s freedom.
The former Prime Minister arrived in a fleet of black SUVs amidst cheers from their supporters who demanded that the gates be opened for him immedaitely.
“Fungulia Rais.…..fungulia rais gate haraka,”the supporters shouted.
Odinga who was being kept at the gates would quickly alight from his car to confront the police at the gate for denying him access.
“If you want me to order these people all here I will do that. This is a public office. You want problems you will get problems,” Raila threatened.
Today Tuesday March 7 morning, the former CS presented himself at the center where he is still being held up now seven hours later.
This triggered Rarieda Member of Parliament Otiende Amollo to raise an alarm on social media saying Matiang’i was not being respected.
An impeccable source within the DCI Headquarters whispered that a stalemate ensued earlier in the day after Matiang’i’s lawyers had declined to allow their client to record a statement.
