Acting Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has told National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential flag bearer Raila Odinga that the government will not reinstate his security detail and that of his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka.
The CS said that withdrawn police officers were redeployed and dared the Opposition leaders to make true a threat by one of them to stage mass protests if the government does not return the officers.
“I heard one politician say that we either return the police officers or they call for mass action. They can proceed and call for mass action because that position is not going to change,” he said.
“We are not going to run the security of this country on the basis of threats.”
Speaking to the press in Kajiado town, Matiang’i accused the Opposition leaders of misusing security officers assigned to them by involving them in street protests and harassment of State officers constitutionally in office.
“Why should we give you 20 police officers to loiter from press conference to press conference, from hotel to hotel, when they are needed elsewhere?” he asked.
He added: “Why should you carry around a whole platoon of police officers to go and commit a crime; to evict constitutional office holders?” the minister said in reference to threats by Nasa to lead supporters in storming electoral commission offices and eject staff they claim bungled the presidential election.
He further said Nasa leaders had crossed the “red line” and that the government would not delay to action anyone breaking the law irrespective of their status.
“None is above the law. I don’t like issuing ultimatum, I act. Test our resolve; go ahead and do it, we will come for you,” said Matiang’i.
He was speaking to the press after a security meeting with senior police bosses, among them Inspector-General of Police Joseph Boinnet and Rift Valley Regional Co-ordinator Wanyama Musiambo.
This guy has suddenly…
This guy has suddenly developed teeth.This is why Jubilee needs to go home.Why is one man running 2 ministries.He needs to remember as presidential candidates Raila and Kalonzo have a right to state protection.They are in the opposition need I say more.Jubilee has not owned up to killing Msando and now they are looking for an excuse to eliminate their competition.Ati misusing security stop with the nonsense it is the same Jubilee Mps using their security to run errands and carry the handbags of female MPs.For an election to take place on the 26th Chilobae can be adopted by Kilimani mum’s including his corrupt colleagues otherwise these side shows of harassing NASA are just that .Intimidation and threats will not win you the election .

Stop Insulting Nyeri people !!! Nyeri people died so that Kenya would be free . Nyeri people know they will be more marginalized if Raila take power. but they don’t give a hoot . Nyerians have earned their bread without depending on any president even Kibaki did not give them anything ! AND with due respect for Msando , he had lied to this girl that he is separated from his wife and they have been together for 1 and Half years . His wife said ” she did not report him missing because there are days he does not come home ” Carol is a niece of a good friend who informed me that the sister told them about the relationship . we still do not know who murdered him was it political was it personal . In USA finding out is suspecting anyone everyone who could have a motive .

This is not MOI era where where dictatorship was thriving. Kenya now has a solid constitution hence you cannot just do things or arrest people without due process. JP are in a fix, their hands are tied. # Freedom. JP are heading home.

CS Matiang’i, all the right thingking Kenyans salute you, that is the way to go. This idiot has pushed all of us against the wall. The idiot has been given too much leeway and that is why he developed guts to say “this and this must happen or else”. Who the heck is he to hold the whole country and ransom. The government needs to deal with the idiot once and for all and let the chips fall where the may. Good job.
Anyone who threaten to cause…
Anyone who threaten to cause destruction of properties and lives like opposition are calling should be considered enemies combative and should be shot immediatly. Live bulletes should be used because they have stopped using right ways to protest and they are thugs causing terrors on fellow kenyans.

sifuna Tell Raila to take his wife , his children and grandchildren to protest !! He should stop using poor volk to destroy lives of Kenyans. We have a problem of graft in Kenya and for the last 5 Years Raila never asked us to go to the streets to protest. He is only asking us to do it for HIM for him for his ambition. Kenyans are saying ” BETTER THE DEVIL WE KNOW THAN WHICH SE DON’T . not because we are happy but we will find a way to get our Macron to get us out of the missery of the last 53 years . but we refuse to die for Raila for Kenya yes
