Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu Among Jubilee Leaders Whose Bodyguards Have Been Withdrawn
Several Jubilee party leaders allied to Deputy President William Ruto have reportedly had their security detail withdrawn abruptly.
Among leaders whose bodyguards have been withdrawn include Kiambu Governor Ferdinand Waititu, Nakuru Senator Susan Kihika, MPs Kimani Ichung'wah (Kikuyu) and Alice Wahome (Kandara) among others.
Speaking to the Standard, Governor Waititu and MP Ichung'wah have confirmed the withdrawal of bodyguards assigned to them.
The two say there was no formal explanation as to why their security was withdrawn.
Ichung’wa, who is currently out of the country on a business trip, has pointed the finger at Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho.
“Ask them what they want to do with my family while I am away. They are being told its orders from above in the PS’s office,” he says.
An MP who spoke to Capital FM News has termed the move as an attempt to intimidate those supporting Ruto.
“It is clear they are being targeted because of associating with Ruto but I don’t think the approach is good for the country,” the MP notes.
Police Headquarters is yet to issue a statement confirming or explaining why the bodyguards were withdrawn.

Why should an MPig be given bodyguards in the first place. That is waste of Wanjiku money.

From Jubilee to Jamboree to Jambo!(aka handshake) to Jumbo(the elephant), this is a house divided, divided against itself.
A Kenyan version of Lincoln's divided house would read something like
"A house divided against itself, cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half Kieleweke and half Tang-tanga. I do not expect the Handshake to be dissolved — I do not expect the Jubilee house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing Kieleweke or all the other(Tang tanga). Either the opponents of Tanga-tanga will arrest the further spread of it and its corruption tag, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that corruption is in the course of ultimate extinction in Kenya; or its advocates will push it forward with innuendos, till it shall become impossible to tell who is corrupt and who is clean, old as well as young — Rich as well as Poor." With all the goodwill, I did not see Jubilee go down this slippery path but that is how the cookie crumbles. Kiele-weak and Tanga-Tongue need to identify a common enemy (corruption, poverty, insecurity, joblessness) to unite them. It may give them a sense of comfort and meaning to clearly distinguish between friend and enemy, to know whom to blame, and to know what they are fighting for. On this bodyguards facade or muchungw'a, the concerned folks should remember "indo ciene itiri ndokeirwo nuu" accept and move on to who knows where-Mt. Kenya political oblivion.
