A lobby group has moved to the High Court seeking orders to compel Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen and Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja to immediately reinstate security officers allegedly withdrawn from Siaya Governor James Orengo.
In an application filed before the Milimani High Court under certificate of urgency, the Centre for Litigation Trust claims Orengo’s personal and residential security detail was withdrawn on May 19 without notice, official communication or replacement.
The lobby is seeking conservatory orders restoring the full security personnel attached to the governor personally and at his residences in Nairobi and Siaya pending the hearing and determination of the petition.
