Citizen Digital understands that a contingent of police in at least four land cruisers have been deployed to make sure that the outspoken MP is arrested.

Ngunjiri had on Sunday, January 6 asked the President to resign and call for fresh presidential polls if running the country was too much for him.

Addressing journalists in Nakuru, Ngunjiri said President Kenyatta had neglected “his people,” adding that the Kikuyu community continues to suffer under the Jubilee administration
