Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has issued demands to Police IG Douglas Kanja following the withdrawal of his security

In a statement, Natembeya said his security detail was withdrawn without any notice or lawful justification.

He stated that the move violates the National Police Service Act, Sections 30 and 31, which obligate the Inspector-General to provide security to State officers whose roles and public engagements expose them to heightened risk.

Natembeya said there was no court or official communication regarding the withdrawal.

He decried that the decisions endanger his life and disrupt his normal duties as governor.

“There is no court order, no disciplinary communication, and no official explanation for this decision.
