Police grabbed Manyatta MP Gitonga Mukunji on Monday afternoon during wild protests across Kenya. Officers booked the lawmaker at Kibii Police Station around 4pm after chaos erupted in Embu County. Criminal investigators from Juja station picked him up later for questioning about violence charges. His lawyer says cops plan to charge Mukunji with stirring up trouble among angry crowds. The politician's wife searched for him as his car sat empty at the police compound.

Deadly clashes killed at least 10 people during the nationwide Saba Saba demonstrations. Human rights workers counted 29 injured protesters and reported two missing persons cases. Police arrested 37 people across different counties as violence spread from city to city. Gunfire rang out in Ngong, Thika, Juja, Embu and several Nairobi neighborhoods. Officers blocked major roads and trapped thousands of workers trying to reach their jobs.

Scared business owners kept their shops locked tight to avoid looters and vandals. Thieves struck in six counties as mobs targeted stores and government buildings. Criminals burned down the Kerugoya Central development fund office during the mayhem. Schools stayed empty because parents feared sending kids into dangerous streets. Government employees ignored orders to report for work as barricades cut off travel routes throughout the country.
