Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s aide Eliud
Owalo has been summoned to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID)
over allegations of a plot to destabilise the government.
Mr Owalo told the Nation he will honour the summons but raised fears the Jubilee government has hatched a plan to silence government critics.
"I am surprised about this. It
is true I have been summoned to appear before the CID. I will do that
today (Tuesday) at 4pm," he said.
Mr Owalo was the head of the Raila Odinga Presidential Secretariat in the run-up to the March 4 General Election.
He is still coordinating Mr Odinga’s activities including organising his local and international events.
“I am deeply perturbed to have
received a call from one Mr Cheruiyot this morning summoning me to CID
headquarters to “clarify certain issues”.I informed him that my
lawyer, James James Orengo will get in touch with him to arrange an
appropriate time for the same,” he stated.
It is unclear what the CID are
investigating but sources indicated that Mr Owalo would be questioned
on certain intelligence informational made available to the police.
