Former Interior minister Fred Matiang’i was a man under siege last night amid reports police were planning to raid his home in Karen, Nairobi.

Initial reports suggested Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) officers were the ones after Matiang’i, but EACC chief executive Twalib Mbarak told Nation last night his team had nothing to do with the reported raid.

But ODM leader Raila Odinga and Dr Matiang’i’s lawyers, led by Dunstan Omari, said police had showed up at the former minister’s residence without explaining the reason for the mission.

A source at the scene told the Nation Dr Matiang’i had been informed about the impending raid. “We think they had intentions to search the house, but they seem to have retreated when the lawyers and other people arrived.”

The officers did not access the former Cabinet minister’s house.

Mr Omari said they have received strict orders from former President Uhuru Kenyatta to head early to court to seek anticipatory bail for all former CSs.

The lawyers will escort Dr Matiang’i to the nearest police station to record his statement.
