Naivasha MP Jayne Kihara was Friday arraigned at the Milimani Law Courts, hours after her dramatic arrest on Thursday.
She was brought to court under tight security on Friday morning in a Subaru vehicle before being taken briefly to the court cells.
She is facing charges of incitement with intent to provoke a breach of the peace in connection with the Saba Saba protests.
According to the charge sheet, the lawmaker was quoted on July 8, 2025, where she accused President William Ruto of orchestrating the chaos in Naivasha during the aforementioned demonstrations.
The charge sheet indicated that Kihara claimed goons were transported to Naivasha in an NYS bus and dropped off at Karagita. At the same time, she claimed that other rioters were dropped off in trucks in Mai Mahiu.
“I want to talk about Naivasha because I know those goons were transported in NYS bus, in a place called Karagita these people nobody knew them, as I condle with the bereaved and also empathise with those properties who were destructed, I want to tell President Ruto this is not a war you can win unless you want to destroy this country,” the sheet read in part.
