The residents say that Ochieng is being targeted for allegedly organizing maandamano in Lindi ward and Kibra constituency.

“We want them to release our MCA. Let them not lie to us it is because of MAANDAMANO since Jera is too junior when it comes to let them arrest Raila since he is the one who calls for maandamano. We only follow his command.

“And why are they arresting Jera yet they are not arresting the one who organised for maandamano on 2nd of May that lead to the harassment of a Journalist at Old Kibera primary,”   said Japheth Bosire a Lindi Ward resident.

Let them release our mheshimiwa so that we can take our children to school it is their time to be in school,” he added.
