Manyatta MP Gitonga Mukunji has filed a petition at the High Court challenging his arrest during the recent Saba Saba protests, terming it unlawful and politically motivated.
The case, lodged at the Milimani Law Courts, targets Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, DCI Director Mohamed Amin, and DPP Renson Ingonga, all of whom he contends abused their powers in arresting and charging him.
In the petition, Mukunji accuses the State of misusing the Prevention of Terrorism Act to intimidate and silence critics of the government.
He argues that his arrest was not only irregular but also part of a broader crackdown on dissent disguised as national security enforcement.
