The Azimio la Umoja coalition has faulted the Kenya Kwanza government following the arrests of Raila Odinga diehard Calvin Gaucho and former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga.

Speaking on Wednesday, May 24 in Nairobi, DAP-K party leader Eugene Wamalwa accused the government of targeting Azimio la Umoja supporters.

“Gaucho was arrested after he made a statement at the Jubilee National Delegates Conference (NDC). He has been in custody since yesterday and we want to follow up to ensure he is released today.

"Maina Njenga just because he came out to support Raila Odinga, he went all the way to Njambini. They have arrested him and he is currently in Nakuru trying to get back his freedom,” said Wamalwa.
