Kimilili Member of Parliament Didmus Barasa has this morning been arrested over assault claims on a local musician.

Barasa is expected to take a plea of causing bodily grievous bodily harm to musician Steve Kay.

He was arrested from his Kimilili home and police said they had received the P3 form from the musician following July 30 drama at Baptist Lurare Primary School in the constituency.

Members of the public were treated to rare drama when Barasa and the local musician and contractor Kay engaged in a scuffle.

Barasa had on Friday visited Baptist Lurare Primary School in Kamukuywa ward in his constituency, where he was expected to commission five new classrooms built through National Government Constituency Development Fund.

However, the politician was taken aback when he discovered Steve Kay, born Stephen Masinde, and his colleague Ronald Graham Wafula had locked up the newly constructed classrooms.
