  • The two MPs among leaders who recorded statements last week.

Two MPs have on Monday been arrested by detectives over the recent deadly clashes that rocked Marsabit County.

The clashes that pitted two communities claimed 10 lives.

Director of Criminal Investigations George Kinoti said the two, North Horr MP Chachu Ganya and his Saku counterpart Dido Ali Rasso, have been taken to the Nairobi headquarters and will be arraigned over alleged role in the clashes.

The two were among several leaders grilled last week as detectives probed claims that politicians from rival communities were funding the flare-ups and inciting violence in the region.
