Sunday, May 11, 2025 - Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya narrowly escaped an attempted arrest by armed individuals who claimed to be police officers in Mombasa on Saturday night.
In the footage, a group of masked men, some in plain clothes
and others in police uniforms, are seen approaching Salasya at his temporary
apartment.
The men brandished pistols and attempted to arrest the MP,
but he managed to evade capture with the help of his security detail.
The vehicle they arrived in was reportedly unmarked and
lacked a registration number plate, raising further questions about the
legitimacy of the operation.
Salasya condemned the incident, stating that it was
unacceptable for any law enforcement agency to attempt to arrest an elected
leader without presenting an arrest warrant.
He also questioned the motives behind the operation,
suggesting that it may have been politically motivated.

When I started my Western Kenya tour, watu walipaniki. Hapo ndipo kelele zilianza,“Wamunyoro ndiye anamsponsor!” I just smiled and kept walking. A week later, they switched tune,“Ni Jimmy Wanjigi sasa!” Watu walikosa consistency kabisa.… pic.twitter.com/KzagdeD6pR
