Gem MP Elisha Odhiambo was on Tuesday a guest at Kisumu Central Police station after attacking a blogger.
The legislator assaulted Maurice Otieno for posting what he said was a defamatory Facebook post.
The Kisumu based blogger had earlier on in the day notified his followers that Odhiambo was being grilled by EACC officers over graft in his constituency.
Speaking to KTN News, the blogger said he received numerous calls which led to his taking down the post.
He would later try reaching the legislator who he said could not be reached.
“I pulled the post down, in the cause of the day I received numerous calls and then I had to call mheshimiwa on phone.
I called but he did not pick, I sent him a text, after a few minutes he came to where I was breathing fire,” Otieno told reporters.
