The revange of the president

It was to be expected. The president's revenge. He was booked in Isiolo and not only that. "Oungo" was shouted and that means "liar". William Ruto could not stand for that. 

So the following Sunday, 40 people were arrested. Drug dealers, illegal liquor traders and people loitering after midnight were allegedly arrested. The crackdown has raised questions. They cannot be answered. One of those burning questions is, why not earlier if the problem is as big as it is claimed? Is there even a problem?  However, allegations have surfaced that the operation was targeted at those who shouted at President Ruto, Governor Abdi Guyo and Senator Fatuma Dullo. Mr Omoding, the police chief, simply ignored the fact that the arrests were a result of politicians booing the president. After the president launched the construction project for a modern factory in Isiolo, youth groups competed to boo the politicians. Geoffery Omoding said on Sunday that the operation was in response to President William Ruto's promise on Friday that the government would crack down on drug smuggling in Isiolo and Marsabit. Omoding said: "The drug traffickers come from Shashamane, Ethiopia and rural areas of Marsabit and Isiolo."   "In the past, we have arrested suspects but when they were brought to Nairobi, they were released in a confusing manner," he added. Too bad, not dealers after all.
