National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula has publicly addressed the controversial withdrawal of security details for former Chief Justice David Maraga. Breaking his silence on the matter, Wetang'ula offered a pointed explanation for the move, linking it directly to Maraga's alleged involvement in the recent June 25 Gen Z protests that escalated into violence and looting.
Speaking at a Mama Mboga Empowerment Forum held at Lukusi Primary School in Webuye East on Friday, June 27, the Speaker stated that Maraga's presence at the demonstrations was a key factor in the decision to remove his security. He explained that such behaviour from someone who once held the country's highest judicial office could harm the reputation of the Judiciary.
He warned that it might also mislead young people who look up to the former Chief Justice as a figure of authority and integrity.
