For the first time ever in the history of Kenya since independence, the police and Judiciary have been lauded by Kenyans for nabbing eight legislators over hate speech sending them behind bars for four days and charging them in the court of law.
During the four days in deplorable condition, the three lawmakers from the ruling Jubilee Party and four Mps and a senator from the Opposition Cord alliance experienced what other Kenyans have been going through in cells over various offences .
With the known pathetic condition and foul smell oozing all over the cell, the Mps must have found it unbearable indeed and silently may be, they regretted their acts .
The 8 legislators were apprehended on Tuesday and have been held in custody since then, with chief magistrate Daniel Ogembo warning their power and influence meant they might interfere with investigations.
Though they denied charges against them at Nairobi’s Milimani law courts, Kenyans are so happy that the move will curb rising cases of impunity and leaders speaking with the spirit of monopoly as if they own the state.

Kenyans saluted the police and the Judiciary immensely over what they termed justice at last saying the continuous reckless use of statements might fuel animosity and must be stopped ahead of the coming polls.
In an interview on West Fm daily talk Show Suala Nyeti, 98 % percent of listeners, congratulated the police for treating the Mps same way as any Kenyans, saying that the ideal sounds a warning to all political leaders propagating hate speech .
Solomon Kisongochi noted that the step will help wipe rising spates of leaders speaking anyhow in public forums, inciting Kenyans against each other with John Toboa applauding the Judiciary for ensuring that embattled Mps are charged to serve as a warning .
Mrs. Petronilah Sikolia said the charges and four days behind bars served them right stating that politicians have made it a norm to fuel hate speech and speaking as if they own Kenya.

The detained Jubilee mps, Moses kuria, Kimani Ngunjiri and Ferdinand Waititu, are loyalists of president Uhuru Kenyatta and members of his Kikuyu tribe while mps Timothy Bosire, Aisha Juma, Junet Mohammed and Florence Mutua, and senator Johnson Muthama are ODM staunch supporters.
Speaking in Belgium, President Uhuru Kenyatta passed a message to all Kenyans saying that no one is above the law.
“We have come a long way as a Nation and we are not going to condone, adamancy and indolence in language use by few individuals who wants to take us back in those days that Kenyans suffered due to such reckless statements” he said.
The President appealed for unity and cohesion ahead of the 2017 polls asking Kenyans to stay steady first and shun leaders fueling chaos.
