Cherargei's advice comes after a number of Azimio politicians were arrested on Tuesday and Wednesday over the anti-government protests.

Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has urged Azimio la Umoja politicians who have been arrested to be humble to the police.

In a statement on Thursday, July 20, Cherargei also told the opposition politicians to also eat well, look for good lawyers, cash bail and to dress warmly.

“Under the handshake government I used to be arrested on a weekly basis, at one time I was arrested in Nandi taken to Eldoret, Kitale, Bungoma, Busia and finally put in custody in Kisumu Central Police station. There is nothing unusual about being arrested by police if you have not committed any crime. My advice when arrested by police you need three things ; Heavy eating cash bail/good lawyer warm clothing and be humble to police,” he tweeted.

His advice comes after a number of Azimio politicians were arrested on Tuesday and Wednesday over the anti-government protests.

Among the politicians is Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino who was arrested on Tuesday night at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
