By RICHARD MUNGUTIMore by this AuthorAn MP accused of assaulting his colleague at the Office of the President on Monday was rearrested moments after he was freed on bail in Nairobi. Earlier, Mr Lempurkel had denied assaulting nominated MP Sarah Korere (Jubilee) at Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery's Harambee House office on November 21, 2016. After paying the Sh200,000 cash bail, Mr Lempurkel emerged from the basement cells ready to enjoy his newfound freedom. Supporters of Mr Lempurkel, dressed in red shukas, thronged the courtroom to follow the proceedings while others, led by a rights activist John Kisimir, demonstrated outside the court building. On learning that Mr Lempurkel had been rearrested, the demonstrators proceeded to Parliament to stage more demos.
