Meanwhile, detectives from the DCI in Kisumu County on Thursday, April 9, arrested three suspects linked to the assault on the senator.

In its statement, the agency confirmed the arrest of 24‑year‑old Carlos Owiti, alias Kalonje, from Nyalenda.

Also taken into custody were Eric Otieno, alias Dude (39), from Manyatta, and Vincent Odhiambo, alias Tinga (27), from Nyalenda.

The trio is accused of being among the attackers who assaulted Osotsi at a coffee shop in West End Mall, Kisumu, leaving him seriously injured.

“Investigations have been intensified, with detectives actively pursuing additional suspects linked to the incident,” the DCI noted.

The agency thanked members of the public for providing crucial information and urged continued cooperation, promising regular updates as inquiries progress.

The suspects were among those named earlier by Embakasi East MP Babu Owino.

Appearing before the National Assembly Committee on Administration and Internal Security, DCI boss Mohamed Amin confirmed that police were following leads and working with the public to identify a man captured on CCTV.

Osotsi sustained severe injuries and was airlifted to Nairobi for treatment. The United Opposition condemned the attack, alleging it was politically motivated.
