The High Court has issued orders stopping the police from arresting or detaining two MPs as part of the probe into the funding of the Gen Z protests.
Embakasi North MP James Gakuya and his Embakasi Central counterpart Benjamin Mejja Donk were on July 31 picked from Parliament buildings and questioned over the matter.
Both MPs are allies of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Other Gachagua allies including three aides have also been questioned in connection with the funding of the protests.
Gakuya and Mejja Donk have since moved to court to stop their arrest in relation to the matter.
Justice Chacha Mwita has since issued orders stopping the arrest and detention of the two lawmakers.
Further directions will be issued on September 17.
"That in the meantime, a conservatory order is hereby issued restraining the respondent, their agents or servants from arresting, detaining, confining, pursuing and or in any other way interfering with the petitioner's liberty in connection with the allegations giving rise to this petition," Justice Mwita said in the orders dated August 5, 2024.
