Police grabbed two top party members from Rigathi Gachagua's Democratic Conservative Party on Tuesday. Wanjiku Thiga and Peter Karanja sit behind bars at Ruiru Police Station without any official charges against them. Family members say cops have not explained what the two politicians did wrong. The arrests have angry relatives and party supporters crying foul about dirty politics. Security forces refuse to tell anyone what really happened during the surprise raids.
Party members claim the government uses police to attack political enemies. They say democracy dies when authorities lock up opposition figures without good reasons. Civil rights groups start asking tough questions about these sudden arrests. The detained officials belong to a party that fights with other groups inside the ruling coalition. Gachagua faces serious challenges from rival politicians who want more power.
Families promise to fight hard for the release of their loved ones. They plan to hire lawyers and take the case to court if police keep the officials locked up. Relatives insist the two politicians committed no crimes and deserve freedom. The arrests make political tensions worse across the country. Experts worry these actions will damage trust between citizens and law enforcement agencies.
