National Assembly Minority Leader John Mbadi has called on Mps to put their weight behind their colleagues in the senate who are being arrested.
Mbadi said they should condemn the arrests because the same thing might equally happen to them.
“When we see senators being harassed and arbitrarily arrested, we should not keep quiet as it could also happen to us. We must condemn such acts regardless of our political persuasions,” said Mbadi.
