Former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi's security detail has been withdrawn.

According to Muturi, the officers were recalled on Monday night without any formal explanation.   "The security team was withdrawn yesterday at night.

I was not given any explanation as to why they were withdrawn, but I suspect it is because of my political stance," Muturi told The Standard. "My security personnel were instructed not to report on duty on the basis, they told me, that I'm fighting the government," he added.

Acknowledging that the withdrawal of security, though he is entitled to it, is not something that should cause alarm, Muturi notes that it goes against constitutional principles. "If the move was meant to intimidate me, it won't," he said.
