Breaking News! Aladwa Arrested By Flying Squad

Sure the long arm of the Law can be quite fast at times.

Former Nairobi mayor George Aladwa has been arrested by the Flying Squad police. The former Nairobi Mayor was arrested at the Railways Club and is being held at the Kilimani Police Station. The arrest comes after a directive by DPP Keriako Tobiko which instructed the relevant bodies to expedite investigations regarding remarks he made at a rally in Kibra.

While the fast action by the police is laudable, it also brings into question the perceived discrimination by the government when acting against hate remarks given the slow action it took against Mp Moses Kuria. The reason why Flying Squad was the selected for the arrest also begs several questions.
