This is the second time EACC officers are arresting Mr. Kidero in less arrest in less than 2 months.

On August 8th, Kidero was arrested and later charged in court over allegations of corruption while serving as Nairobi Governor.

Speaking to journalist Mr. Kidero dismissed the charges filed against him noting that there was no basis.

“EACC came with a search warrant into my house. It appeared to me they were looking for evidence because they did not have any during the first arrest.

“They should have had enough evidence before arresting me. This is pure harassment and a violation to my right. We will not take this laying down,” Kidero said.
