"If you want this country to go down, even as much utter that you want to arrest him."

All Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Alliance MPs will resign if ODM leader Raila Odinga is arrested, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has said. 

Babu who was reacting to UDA MPs' call to arrest Raila and former President Uhuru Kenyatta said arresting the duo will come with dire consequences.

The MP who spoke at Parliament building said the arrest of Raila will bring the country to a standstill saying that is akin to the fourth arm of the government.

"Raila is the fourth arm of the government. If you want this country to go down, even as much utter that you want to arrest him," he said.

ODM Leader Raila Odinga leading demos on Monday, March 20.

"We have 70 percent of the country. We the MPs will resign and we will fight a course that is going to clean this country once and for all," Babu stated.

His statement comes after UDA MPs accused Raila of being behind the massive destruction of properties in Nairobi on Monday.

Raila called for mass protests on Monday after the government failed to heed the demands he had issued.

"We want them to be charged for every stone thrown, property destroyed and looted and lives lost, no matter who they are," they said in a statement read by UDA's Chairperson Cecily Mbarire.

The resignation of MPs however has no impact on Ruto's presidency.

This will only mean that affected areas will have by-elections where new MPs will be elected into office.
