Former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi has confirmed that his security has been withdrawn.
According to Muturi, his security was withdrawn on Monday night.
“My security detail was withdrawn last night at around 7:30 p.m. Two Police officers who were attached to me by virtue of my position as former Speaker of the National Assembly were told not to report on duty today,” he said.

Muturi disclosed that the officers were informed not to serve under his security detail anymore because he is “fighting the government”.
The former CS grew critical of Ruto’s government over the spate of abductions targeting youth since last year’s anti-government demonstrations.
His own son was abducted and later released.
The then CS said he boycotted Cabinet meetings until the issue was addressed as a major agenda, which he said never happened, until Ruto nominated Mbeere North MP Geoffrey Ruku to fill the Public Service docket.
Ruto noted Muturi’s absence from Cabinet meetings demonstrated defiance, leaving him with no option but to relieve him of his duties.
Muturi has since accused Ruto of lying, he recently accused him of corruption and linked him to the controversial JKIA-Adani deal.
The former Public Cabinet Secretary has also in the past alleged that William Ruto is unfit to be the President of Kenya.
“I think William Ruto has two personalities, the William Ruto that presents himself to the public is a completely different character from the one that sits behind in the office and crafts stuff. That kind of person is a dangerous character, I think Ruto is unfit for the position of the President of the Republic of Kenya, I have come to that conclusion, and I have no bitterness,” Muturi noted.
