Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga’s diehard supporter Calvin Okoth popularly known as Gaucho has been arrested after walking into the Nairobi Central Police Station.

Azimio in a statement on Tuesday, May 23 stated that the Bunge la Wananchi President had gone to inquire about his phone, which was confiscated during an earlier arrest.

“Calvin Okoth aka Gaucho has been arrested by officers from Nairobi Area (County Hqs) at the Central Police Station where he had gone to inquire about his phone which was confiscated during a past arrest,” Azimio stated.

The arrest comes after he allegedly used deeming words against some female politicians during the Jubilee Party National Delegates Convention (NDC) held on Monday, at the Ngong Racecourse in Nairobi.

Narc Kenya Party leader Martha Karua censured Gaucho during the event saying his remarks were gender-based.

"Iko kijana yangu moja aliongea hapa na nimemwambia nitamkosoa kidogo. Ata ikiwa ni mtu ametukosea, awe mama au baba tusimwingilie kimaumbile, tuingilie vitendo vyake. Please stop yourself from issuing any criticism or insult that is gender-based," Karua stated.
