The eight Cord and Jubilee MPs who were detained on Tuesday over hate speech are complaining of cold, flu and chest pains.
Lawyers John Khaminwa and Harun Ndubi have moved to court to seek orders to have the MPs at Pangani Police Station taken to hospital for check-up.
The MPs held are: Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama, Ferdinand Waititu (Kabete), MPs Junet Mohamed (Suna East), Timothy Bosire (Kitutu Masaba), Moses Kuria (Gatundu South) and Kimani Ngunjiri of Bahati.

Women representatives Florence Mutua (Busia) and Aisha Jumwa (Kilifi) are also in police custody.

Police officers at the station declined to allow other leaders to see the detained MPs.

The Hight Court on Wednesday rejected an application seeking to release the accused lawmakers on bail.

Their case is scheduled for hearing on Friday.

Muthama and Junet charge sheets give the date of 11th that he uttered words. There is a slight problem. They were allegedly commenting on remarks made by Moses Kuria at a function he held a day AFTER (The 12th). So according to the police Muthama incited people at a presser on the 11th to talk about an event that had not taken place. Only the police can tell how he did that at a press conference he did not attend!

While Junet had a presser, it could not have happened a day before Kuria actually uttered his words.

This whole process is to tell Kenyans Kuria speaks for Uhuru and if you insult Kuria or his mother, you are insulting Uhuru. Even Moi would not stoop that low.

Although the charge sheet are laughable (which make me wonder why Judge/Magistrate let this go); I really like how the police have let these inciters taste what other suspects do.

By arresting innocent MPs and then embarking on persecution? How about they actually do that to people who incited? Muthama has a previous charge for which he is bonded. He was not present at the press conference. The other CORD MPs at worst said exactly what WSR said when he made fun of CORD's list of negotiators.

This is not about defective charges alone. It is as you wrote earlier an abuse of police power, with the connivance of the DPP. What caused the DPP to soften his earlier stance on this?

Now let's assume Raila becomes President and as most GEMA think, he chooses to revenge. He could hold Uhuru and Ruto in police stations around the country (Nyanza to be precise) for days on defective or plain non existent and unheard of charges. They cannot complain and if they sue Muthama, et al vs The State will silence them.

As Muite has said this morning, this is a terrible precedent that can return to wreck the country.

Some Cord supporters are planning to block the Nairobi-Mombasa highway to protest the detention of Senator Johnstone Muthama over alleged hate speech.

Police have, however, warned that they will arrest those planning to cause disruptions on the busy highway.

Muthama was arrested on Tuesday alongside MPs Junet Mohamed, Timothy Bosire, Aisha Jumwa, Florence Mutua, Moses Kuria, Ferdinand Waititu and Kimani Ngunjiri over claims of hate speech.

His supporters said he was not at the press conference where he is alleged to have committed the offence.

The High court on Wednesday dismissed an application by the detained politicians for release on bail.

Justice Joseph Onguto said the reasons for the decision will be given at midday on Thursday.

This means the eight politicians who were arrested on Tuesday will remain in police cells until further orders are issued.

The politicians had moved to court seeking release on bail contrary to a decision by a lower court.

Chief magistrate Daniel Ogembo denied them bail and ordered their detention for four days pending further investigations.

State counsel Leonard Maingi said the politicians should have filed an appeal or a review of the magistrates orders, not a new application at the High Court.

The politicians said they were motivated to move to court after they were denied food at the various police stations they were taken to on Tuesday.

They said they were also denied water, medication and opportunities to see their spouses and relatives.

Jumwa and Mutua said they are mothers with young children yet have not been allowed to change their clothes, see their relatives or continue their duties as mothers.

The politicians want to be released on bail pending investigations.

They argued that the court misapplied and improperly invoked article 49(1) (h) of the constitution.
