Reports indicate that the team of elite police officers arrived and surrounded his home seeking to arrest him for unspecified reasons.

Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga's spokesman Dennis Onyango told Citizen TV that the ODM party leader was headed to Matiang’i’s home. 

Through Facebook, ODM communication director Philip Etale claimed police arrived at the former cabinet secretary’s home in five vehicles.

"Former CS Dr Fred Matiang’i is under siege. His house has been surrounded by five police vehicles. They want to attest him. Happening now," Etale said in a social media post.

    Unfortunately, Azimio has manufactured so many stories, even this one, we have to wait for one or two days fo confirm. Would have been easier if the reporter had sought clarification from police spokesperson.

    Clearly they’re a militia that is operating inside the Kenya police.

    It’s been long overdue to apprehend and prosecute this criminal along with many other criminals of the former regime of Mlevi and the peoples conman! Impunity | Corruption must END

    Ruto has really turned Kenya into Shamba la Wanyama! Something must give to free Kenyans from Ruto’s madness.

    And now, we know it's Azimio propaganda. This kind of deliberately set up propaganda is damaging to both Ksnya and Azimio and has to be stopped.

    What kind of a "god" does Samoei worship?

    Ruto worships the Devil!

    Not your god, but the real god!

    All Kenyans must wake up and make sure that President Toroitich's students of politics are totally out of power come 2027.
    Anyone who sang "Tawala Kenya Tawala" is not fit to lead Kenya. How come? When brave Kenyans were fighting for the Second Liberation of Kenya, where some were jailed, tortured, and a few lost their lives, the TKT (Tawala Kenya Tawala) brigade and sycophants were busy singing this song.
    Unfortunately, the current regime of the hustlers in power, is composed of the same people who sang "TKT."

    If police were at Matiang’is house how come they couldn’t get in especially when the lawyers were let in?And even later when Raila came and went in. The only pictures available are those of Raila at a press conference and none for the five vehicles belonging to the police or police themselves.
    These people have to stop this petty propaganda.
