Robert Alai arrested for sharing the president’s phone number on Facebook??
On Sunday evening, a certain Kenyan on Twitter started a rumor that controversial blogger Robert Alai had been arrested and was being held at Pangani Police station
Another tweet also claimed that Alai had been arrested, but this time, for saying bad things about the president and his deputy on social media.

However, Robert Alai has confirmed through his social media accounts that he was not arrested. In fact, he learnt of the alleged arrest through social media- just like you and I
Alai had posted this message on his Facebook wall, which had President Uhuru Kenyatta, William Ruto and two other government officials’ phone numbers
President Uhuru’s number is 0722208842, DP Ruto’s is 0722517997, Spokesman Esipisu’s is 0732819160 and Uhuru’s PA Jomo Gecaga is on 0722473424. Ask them about #KainukSiege where hundreds of Kenyans are trapped since Thursday without any help.
Very many people- especially those who hate Alai, were celebrating Alai’s arrest… like the lady below:
