Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino has cautioned the government against arresting Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga.
Owino in a tweet claimed that the country could plunge into chaos if the former Prime Minister is arrested.
“We have 4 arms of the government 1. Parliament 2. Executive 3. Judiciary 4. Raila Amollo Odinga. Harboring an intention to arrest Baba will lead to the destruction of this country, and we are ready to start afresh,” he warned.
A section of UDA lawmakers earlier called on the Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome to arrest Raila and Former President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The MPs who were addressing the media at parliament buildings said the two should be put behind bars for interfering with the well-being of Kenyans.
"We ask the IG of Police not just to arrest the small boys who are paid to riot. If the buck stops at the door of Odinga, go for Odinga, if the buck stops at his sponsor's door, go for them," National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wah said.
He added,” The buck stops with Raila and his sponsors, and they must be held to account for the destructions that took place during the protest.”
