Siaya Governor James Orengo has written to the Inspector General of Police protesting what he termed as the abrupt and unprocedural withdrawal of his personal and residential security detail.

In a letter dated May 20, 2026, addressed to the Inspector General, Orengo said the withdrawal of officers attached to him and those deployed at his Nairobi residence was carried out on Tuesday evening without prior notice, formal communication or replacement.

“I am writing to register my strong protest regarding the abrupt and unprocedural withdrawal of my personal security detail and the security personnel deployed at my Nairobi residence,” the governor stated.
