The outspoken lawmaker's torrid few days ended with a release on bond, days after he was apprehended along the Isiolo-Nanyuki Highway.
Moments after his release, a visibly shaken Salasya faulted the government and authorities for the manner in which he was apprehended, claiming he was 'arrested like a robber'. "First of all, I want to condemn the incident because if they are government officers, there should be a procedure for arresting an officer guarded by other officers," he said.
