Meru County Senator Mithika Linturi has been arrested following the “madoadoa” remarks he made while addressing the crowd during Deputy President William Ruto’s mega rally at Eldoret.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While addressing the rally, Senator Mithika urged the Rift Valley region residents to make sure they remove all “madoadoa” who are in the region, a statement that didn’t went well with Ruto’s opponents.<\/p>\n

The opponents claimed that Linturi was referring to other tribes which are not Kalenjin as madoadoa and was urging the locals to eliminate them from the region.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, when defending his statement, senator Linturi said that his remarks was directed to the Rift Valley region political leaders who are against Deputy President William Ruto and his UDA Party.<\/p>\n

He added that he was urging the voters from the region to practice on 6-piece voting system and remove such leaders by not electing them in the coming election but his statement was misinterpreted.<\/p>\n
