Presidential candidate Mohamed Abduba Dida has blasted Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i for withdrawing NASA leader Raila Odinga's security detail.
Speaking in an interview on NTV on Wednesday, Dida said that the decision by the CS is uncalled for and that it has caused serious implications in the country.
"Somebody like Matiang'i, with all the knowledge he has, why did he withdraw Raila's security? And look at the mess he is causing to himself....Matiang'i thinks that he is working for Jubilee and not Raila. If you are Cabinet Secretary,as much as the government is Jubilee, you are working for Kenyans," he said.
Dida's statement comes nearly two weeks after the government decided to recall security detail attached to the former Prime Minister and his running mate Raila Odinga. And when he withdrew his candidature from the repeat presidential poll slated for October 26,Raila stated that lack of security to accompany him to his campaign rallies was one of the reasons he decided to pull out of the race.
