A Diretoria de Investigações Criminais confirmou a prisão de Evans Kawala na noite de terça-feira. Figuras da oposição haviam alegado anteriormente que ele havia sido sequestrado. Detetives da Unidade de Apoio às Operações detiveram o homem de 33 anos em um shopping em Kayole, Nairóbi. A DCI informou que Kawala enfrenta alegações de ter feito declarações públicas inflamatórias contra o presidente William Ruto, que circularam online. O governador de Siaya, James Orengo, havia declarado na terça-feira que a administração Ruto sequestrou Kawala por dizer a verdade ao poder e exigiu sua libertação imediata. A nota da DCI refutou as alegações de sequestro. Kawala permanece sob custódia aguardando a apresentação formal perante um tribunal. Suas declarações ocorreram após uma falha de segurança envolvendo o presidente Ruto em Ganze, no condado de Kilifi, no domingo.
