"We ask the IG of Police not just to arrest the small boys who are paid to riot," Ichung'wah said.

A section of  UDA MPs now wants the Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome to arrest ODM leader Raila Odinga and Former President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The MPs who addressed a press conference on Tuesday and parliament buildings said the duo should be put behind bars for interfering with the well-being of Kenyans.

In a statement read by Majority Leader Kiamani Ichung'wah, the MPs said the two are responsible for massive losses the country witnessed on Monday.

ODM Leader Raila Odinga leading mass protests in Nairobi on Monday March 20, 2023.

They said many traders lost their properties as a result of the Monday demos they say were sponsored by President Uhuru.

"We ask the IG of Police not just to arrest the small boys who are paid to riot. If the buck stops at the door of Odinga, go for Odinga, if the buck stops at his sponsor's door, go for them," Ichung'wah said.

The MPs also faulted Raila for declaring Monday a public holiday an act they said is a clear violation of the constitution.

The MPsa said the continued failure to bring the two to book will wreak havoc on the rest of Kenyans who rely on their small businesses to eke a living.

"The buck stops with Raila and his sponsors, and they must be held to account for the destructions that took place during the protest," Ichung'wah stated.
