Allan Omondi, the bodyguard, and Walter Owino, his driver, were arrested in Nairobi during an overnight operation.
Their arrest follows a series of raids launched after detectives captured Dennis Sewe Munyasi in Mihang’o, Kayole, on Tuesday night, May 6.
Citizen TV reported that Munyasi, not knowing that he was being tracked, led the detectives to another chief suspect, Edwin Oduor Odhiambo, the famous Abdi Rashid.
During the interrogation, Oduor reportedly confirmed the existence of a wide plot, revealing that the killing was a coordinated plan involving the security statement of the MP.
How much did the MPs be paid?
This disclosure is in line with William Imoli’s earlier allegations, the first suspect arrested on Sunday, May 4, who claimed he received KSh 80,000 from the MP’s bodyguard to leave unknown people near the murder scene.

Following the arrests, the officers searched for Omondi residence in Uthiru and took the security and driver’s calls for judicial investigation.
