Opposition leader Raila Odinga sensationally claims that President Uhuru’s decision to withdraw a number of security forces attached to him was meant to expose him to danger.
On Tuesday, the government reportedly redeployed a number of his security forces to Northern part of the country.
But Odinga accused Jubilee administration of unfairly targeting the officers adding that he was not informed of any security reshuffle.
“There main aim was to expose me to danger because they expected me to be part of demonstrators. We are not aware of any security reshuffle,” he said.
The ODM leader added:”what they know well is that I am entitled to security but I would like to tell them that I am living at the mercy of people, my greatest security ever.”
Understandably, this is not the first time his security is being withdrawn given that he encountered similar actions from the government in 2014.
As an Ex – Prime Minister, parliament passed legislations which entitle him to a number of privileges among them government vehicles and security.
