The incident comes after the governor on Sunday claimed that security officers wanted to raid his Motonto home and other premises at night.

Reacting to the development, ODM's Director of Communications Philip Etale said the Governor has not committed any crime. 

"Governor Simba Arati has not committed any crime, neither has he killed anyone. Why dispatch lorry loads of GSU officers to block him from accessing his place of work? Why send officers to his residence? If someone wants to be Governor, go to the people and not use police."

The raid comes after Arati and South Mugirango MP Sylvanus Osoro clashed over the management of county resources.

Osoro had earlier downplayed reports of a planned GSU raid saying it would not happen.

He, however, demanded the governor explain how over Sh13 billion, allocated to the county by the national government, has been used by the county.
