Azimio la Umoja Coalition has condemned the abduction and arrests of its members.
In a statement on Wednesday, Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua on behalf of Azimio termed the actions as illegal and aimed at paralysing the protests.
"We condemn in the strongest terms possible the arrests of Azimio leaders and close associates of leaders without any colour of right or lightest justification," she said.

Nairobi MCAs Wilfred Odallo (Mabatini), Redson Onyango (Ngei ), Erick Otieno and Anthony Otsulawho who are budget officers at the Nairobi County Assembly have also been arrested.
Raila Odinga's bodyguard Maurice Ogeta is said to be abducted by police on his way to work.
Dennis Onyango (Raila's Spokesman) was arrested from his house where a search without warrant was conducted.
Karua called out the government for the arrests arguing it is a desperate attempt to sabotage the maandamano.
As a result, the Raila-led coalition has demanded the immediate release of those detained noting that their detention is not only malicious but also unlawful.

They reminded the police that each officer will account individually for unlawful acts
“Our Lawyers have instructions to proceed with the necessary legal action,” Karua added.
