Court orders arrest of Kisumu senator, ex-deputy governor over contempt of court

A magistrate has ordered the arrest of Kisumu Senator Fred Outa and former Deputy Governor Ruth Odinga for failing to appear in court.

The two leaders are facing several charges stemming from disruption of a training organised by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) in Kisumu Central.

Some of the charges they are facing are entering in an electoral centre without authority, obstructing an election officer from executing lawful duties and malicious damage to property.

Mr Outa and Ms Odinga were accused of entering Prosperity Building where the IEBC was training presiding officers in preparation for the October 26 elections without permission.

Youths disrupted a planned session and vandalised tents and plastic chairs at the town’s Huduma Centre.
