Muturi’s Security Withdrawn, Authorities Reveal Reason For Removal
Former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi claims that his life is in danger after the administration allegedly removed his security people.
Muturi, speaking to the press on Tuesday, April 8, questioned the motivation for the decision, claiming that the security withdrawal was the result of his strong stance against the government.
While protesting the decision, the former Attorney General insisted that adequate security guards were a constitutional right and part of his retirement package.
Last night at around 7:30PM, my security detail was withdrawn. The two officers who had been assigned to me owing to my previous position as Speaker of the National Assembly were instructed not to report on duty today.

He further stated that the move to withdraw his security personnel was merely intended to intimidate him.
According to him, he learned about the departure of his security last evening.
However, when he contacted the appropriate authorities, he was told that the cops had been removed due to his criticism of the administration.
Nonetheless, the former CS stated that, despite the security departure, he will continue to hold President William Ruto’s administration accountable.
“The reaction from the government has been the immediate withdrawal of my security, which happened last evening,” Muturi claimed.
“My security personnel were instructed not to report to duty because I am fighting the government.”
He went on to add, “I said it is okay because there are very many Kenyans without government security, and therefore, it is not something that should worry somebody.”
Muturi, who was fired from his government job a fortnight ago, has recently been one of Ruto’s harshest opponents, accusing the administration of a number of wrongdoings.
Muturi delivered a blistering exposé on President Ruto during a recent interview with the Nation Media Group (NMG) on Friday, April 4.
The former AG chastised him for purporting to fight corruption while reportedly engaging in covert graft transactions totaling billions of shillings.

During the interview, the former Attorney General described how Ruto tried to compel him into signing a Ksh129 billion tree-planting agreement with Russian oligarchs near the country’s main airport.

“I land in Dubai, Ruto is calling me; those Russians are in Dubai; they are waiting for you to sign the document; your staff has already worked on it; you just need to sign,” Muturi narrated.
“The document was for a deal, purporting to give a grant of one billion US dollars (Ksh129 billion) to allegedly grow three billion trees toward the 15 billion trees target,” he explained.
On March 26, he was removed from his cabinet position and replaced by Mbeere North Member of Parliament Geoffrey Ruku.
Most Kenyans attributed his resignation to his severe criticism of the administration over widespread abductions in the country.
