Interior CS Fred Matiang'i has stated that he doesn't need anyone's permission to endorse former Premier Raila Odinga's 2022 presidential bid. 

Speaking in Kisumu County on Thursday, December 16, Matiang'i slammed his critics stating that President Uhuru Kenyatta was his boss and would do as directed.

“Sasa nikisema hivyo nimefanya makosa? Na mimi sijakuuliza wewe unipee ruhusa ya kusimama pamoja na Raila ama Rais Kenyatta... President Kenyatta is my boss na ni yeye amenipea kazi nifanye. Akiamuru vile tunaenda, It is logical kama Waziri wake wa Usalama mimi napiga laini mahali rais amepiga laini.”

He added, "There can never be two centres of power and anyone else taking credit for Government projects or claiming to have influenced major infrastructure development is a hypocrite and engaging in political conmanship."

CS Matiang'i spoke after being installed as a son of the Nyakach clan, Dholuo tribe stating it was a great honor as he oversaw the formation of the Central Nyakach division.
