The government has withdrawn the security detail of former first lady Mama Ngina Kenyatta’s Nairobi, Muthaiga and Gatundu homes.

On Tuesday at around 5:00 pm, more than ten GSU and Administration Police officers were recalled.

From 30 last year, her security had been reduced to just ten this year.

The response was in response to allegations made by Kenya Kwanza leaders that Raila Odinga, the head of Azimio's Opposition, had been funding protests sponsored by Uhuru Kenyatta, his son and former president of Kenya.

A group of Nairobi traders said at a press conference on Tuesday that they would stage a protest at Mama Ngina's house in protest of his accused son's actions.

President William Ruto, who succeeded Kenyatta following last year's elections, has specifically accused him of working with Odinga to stabilise the government, despite Kenyatta's denials that he has been promoting the upheaval.

“We know the sponsors of these protests is Odinga and his handshake brother and we will not allow them to continue destabilizing the country,” Ruto said last week.

Odinga has called for more protests today,  Thursday, and Friday against the high cost of living occasioned by the Finance Act signed by the president.

On Wednesday of last week, nine people died in bloody battles throughout several nation regions as protesters summoned by opposition leader Raila Odinga marched in violation of a government prohibition. Similar protests the week before claimed the lives of six additional people.

Odinga, who maintains that President William Ruto's victory in last year's presidential election was "stolen," has organised some protests this year against a government he claims is unconstitutional and accountable for a crisis in the cost of living.
