Gov't Sued for Downgrading Deputy President William Ruto’s Security
Two Kenyans have sued the government for withdrawing General Service Unit (GSU) officers guarding Deputy President William Ruto’s residence.
In a case filed at the Milimani law courts, Miruri Waweru and Angela Mwikali argue that the move by the Inspector General of Police has compromised and threatened the security of the deputy president.
The two petitioners further termed the action as unreasonable, saying that it violates provisions of the Constitution, National Police Service Standing Orders, and the Fair Administrative Action.
“The Petitioners fault the decision arrived at by the respondent as it was done in an opaque and arbitrary manner and there is no explanation or what criteria guided the process,” reads the petition.
They aver that the move was politically motivated, adding that there is no reasonably justifiable reason for downgrading the security of the deputy president in a country governed by the constitution and where the rule of law takes precedence.
“The Petitioners are apprehensive that the illegal actions of the respondents are politically instigated and are meant to create a state of fear in the build-up to the general elections scheduled for August 2022,” they add.
Through lawyer Elius Mutuma, Waweru and Mwikali argue that the Administration Police that replaced the GSU team at Ruto’s residence are not ordinarily trained on VVIP protection.
They have asked the court to order that the withdrawn GSU officers return to their station at the official residence of the deputy president.
Inspector-General of Police, Commander of the General Service Unit, and the Attorney-General have been listed as respondents.

What these dyeing goons know about security apparatus? This stuff alone shows how self conceited Ruto is…!!
The APs are normally the ones guarding the junior politicians like the DP Ruto, etc!
Whatever decision the court makes should be ignored by the executive branch! We have had enough nonsenses from the courts in recent months.
Give Kenyans a damn break!

CA Matiangi exposed the rotten under belly of Ruto’s propaganda machinery that most of lied hustlers are refusing to see! Ruto has consistent lied but Matian’gi brought real facts and said Ruto has 257 guards! I see no reason for matiangi to lie! Ruto has lied many times and he is no longer credible…

Already jambazi Ruto has scored against his comrade in corruption,Uhuru.He welcomed the APs like old friends which is enough challenge to kina Uhuru & Co thugs.I remember asking a simple question-how wauuaji Kenyatta,Moi,majambazi Saitot and Michuki died with hundreds of bodyguards but no one answered.It makes no sense for hundreds of armed men to guard thugs like Uhuru,Ruto,Matiang’i,wauaji Raila,Kabogo,Joho etc while sharing shs 2b. daily leaving hundreds of Kenyans at the mercy bandits in Laikipia.

Iam not sure if Ruto himself has complained,if he did,Imissed it.
I would like to comment on this statement politicians like to pull out as if its always malicious,and that is,"politically motivated..." Why is it that anything politically motivated connotes bad intentions?This should not be the case at all.Political motivation is not always bad. For example, acrooked,and corrupt politican facing corruption charges invoking" politically motivated" clause.That would not be right. Stop hiding behind this clause when you have no valid defense.

Ruto had 257 security guards assigned to him! The average for guys who his type of propaganda work is 14 security personnel! Well, you can sue all you wish but I think we need to reduce the 257 number to roughly 14.

These lawyers are just up to getting paid by a thief in the name of DP Ruto! They all know Ruto is telling a bunch of lies! I would hate to be a lawyer to go lie for a real psychologically sick DP. Ruto has a telling lies sickness and he needs to get treatment! How are these lawyers going to lie when Ruto has 257 security personnel detail? And some AP checking chicken temperature at Ruto’s chicken farm!

Many are missing the point. It is clear that the presidency, MPs Senators governors CS PS CAS are guarded by probably 10,000 security while the rest are shared to the masses hence inequality and insecurity. The masses are losers because of VIPs
