Department of security has continued to unleash on NASA allied politicians by stripping off their security, with an explanation that it is a ‘routine’ procedure within the police.
A fortnight ago, opposition leader Raila Odinga and his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka had their security withdrawn with Musalia Mudavadi suffering a similar fate.
And moments after President Uhuru Kenyatta’s tour to Nyamira, area governor John Nyagarama had his security withdrawn on Saturday.
“I want to bring to your attention that all my security guards have been ordered to report to their headquarters for redeployment.
“The same has been extended to my Deputy Amos Nyaribo. I will however not be bothered because only God grants us security,” read part of his statement.
Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i had maintained that the security reshuffles had nothing to do with one’s political stand.
Raila Odinga has accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of allegedly intimidating him through arbitrary withdrawal of his security against the law.
