Saturday was a messy, noisy and Nakuru Town East MP David Gikaria was the casualty of the day. He had to spend a long night on the floor of the police cells after being arrested in connection with a land row.
He however got a reprieve after being released today.
Gikaria was released on free bond at 1 am on Sunday and is expected in court tomorrow.

Nakuru Central Police Station OCPD Elena Kabukuru said the MP could not get money at the hour of release hence the reason to release him on free bond.\

The second time legislator was arrested alongside 10 other suspects who had accompanied him to oversee construction of stalls on the alleged grabbed land at Pipeline along the Nakuru-Nairobi highway.
Gikaria is said to have gotten into a confrontation with former Nakuru Mayor Mohammed Surraw, which attracted the attention of residents who couldn’t tell who between the two actually owns the land.
However, Kenyans could not keep quiet after the MP’s release on a free bond. They have gone ahead to react, and the reactions are just hilarious.
Imagine MP David Gikaria has been released on free bond, expected to appear in court on monday.
Si hii ni kirimino? the guy even assaulted police OCPD….
