“Just free Walter” For the first time Dennis Itumbi criticizes the government he’s working for

The arrest of Nation Media journalist caused hue and cry as it turns out he could have been framed for the offense he is alleged to have committed.

Daily Nation writer Walter Menya was arrested on Sunday on allegations of soliciting for bribe of Kes 50,000 from a man named Kiprotich Koros in order to write damaging story on newspaper.

Photos of the journalist taken inside CID headquarters which were shared on social media however poked holes on his arrested. CID headquarters is a protected area where photography is restricted.

Critics claim the photos were leaked to Jubilee bloggers in order to incriminate Walter Menya and sway public opinion about his arrest.

Dennis Itumbi has for the first time faulted the government he’s working for; he said the sharing of Menya’s photos from a protected area made his arrest look like it was staged.

“That alone trivializes the arrest and the accusation. The case will be decided on FACTS and EVIDENCE….but if the perception is that it was a scripted narrative that must be pointed out,” wrote Itumbi.

Itumbi further called for the release of Menya after alleged Jubilee blogger tagged him on Twitter claiming to provide evidence that proved Menya was guilty.
