Gaucho recently decried the coalition of Azimio’s unfair treatment after he was arrested and claimed that no one bothered to bail him out.
He stated that if the talks do not materialize and protests are recalled, he may not participate.
He stated that the inequitable treatment had deeply troubled him, thereby conveying the message to the principals of Azimio.
“I truly pray to God that the bipartisan talks succeed. Because if they fail and there is another call for demos, I will simply wish the Azimio team continued success,” said Gaucho.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations had arrested Gaucho for causing a disturbance.
He was subsequently indicted by the Kiambu Law Courts and released on Sh5,000 cash bail.
“Calvin Okoth Otieno alias “Gaucho” was arraigned before the law courts of Kiambu on charges of disturbing the peace in violation of section 95 (1)(b) of the penal code. “The suspect was released on an Sh20,000 bond or a Sh5,000 cash bail,” the DCI explained.
