His remarks come barely two weeks after the Orange Democratic Party (ODM) claimed that the government had ordered the withdrawal of Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga’s security details and those of other leaders who are opposing the Kenya Kwanza regime. 

“The Ruto government has ordered the immediate withdrawal of security details of PL Raila Odinga, Martha Karua, and SK Musyoka together with those of other elected leaders in Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition,” ODM stated. 

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula on May 4 ordered National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah to liaise with security agencies to ensure the security of Azimio MPs is reinstated.
