Orengo protests alleged security withdrawal

His claim came hours after Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya said officers attached to him had been withdrawn at around 11pm on Wednesday

Siaya Governor James Orengo has claimed that his security detail was withdrawn again, shortly after attending the memorial of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga in Bondo.

In a social media post, Orengo said the withdrawal was the latest in a series of similar incidents.

In a statement issued on Thursday, Natembeya said the withdrawal had occurred for the second time and questioned whether the decision complied with the Constitution and the law.

He cited Article 47 of the Constitution, which guarantees every person the right to administrative action that is lawful, reasonable and procedurally fair, including written reasons where a decision adversely affects a right or fundamental freedom.
