Good evening, Breaking news - 50 people have been arrested in Limuru area where they had gathered to attend a public meeting of area youth to discuss community issues such as Kazi kwa Vijana initiative and the CDF and LATF devolved funds. It is not clear why they have been arrested but the group, including Bunge la Mwananchi leader George Nyongesa , Sheikh Ramadhan and Livingstone Ngugi, are currently being held at Tigoni police station. The area residents had gathered under the banner of Bunge la Mwananchi earlier this afternoon to understand and perform a social audit of their local issues - such as the role and application of CDF and LATF in area development. Although the area authorities had been duly notified of today’s planned community meeting, no sooner had people gathered than the police arrested them. They were bundled into waiting police vehicles and taken to Tigoni police station where they are being held but are yet to be booked.
