On Friday, July 21, police stormed the home of former President Uhuru Kenyatta's eldest son, Jomo Kenyatta, in Karen, Nairobi County.
Speaking outside the house, Uhuru revealed that his son had hurriedly texted him, reporting the arrival of DCI operatives in Subarus with Sudanese license plates. The officers allegedly tried to force their way into the building. Uhuru, on the other hand, instructed his son to deny them access.
Uhuru arrived at the residence shortly after and conveyed his displeasure with the government's obsession with attacking his family.
"From what I understand, the cops do not use foreign license plates; they have a warrant, they present their case, and they produce the warrant that allows them to do what they want." I told him not to open the gate while I was in the office. "I am now here, and they have left," he explained.
"I leave this incident to the law, what do you want with my children, they removed their security now they want to strip them of their weapons," Azimio chairperson said.
"Do whatever you want as long as you don't hurt my mother." Tell the world if these are illegal weapons, yet they are licensed, so what's the problem? Uhuru inquired.
The former president emphasized that he will do all it takes to safeguard his family, even if the present regime removes security from all of his family members.
"I am not demanding any security from them; if they want to recall all of them, let them do so," he continued.
"Do not think you can intimidate an old woman, children, and grandchildren; if you want me, come; I have not fled." "Your people always know where I am, but leave the children alone," Uhuru dared.
Uhuru denied charges that he is sponsoring Azimio's protests, stating that he handed over authority peacefully.
"Is it illegal to be associated with Raila? It is my democratic right to vote for anyone I like. Why should a 90-year-old woman or children be frightened? "Am I not supposed to talk to my friends about my relationship with Raila?" he wondered.
Uhuru also questioned Kenya Kwanza lawmakers' fixation with including him in the country's troubles, despite his deafening silence since taking power last year.
He asked the administration to address the issues presented by Kenyans in the same way he did while he was in power. Uhuru urged the incoming leadership to avoid seeking scapegoats and instead listen to the people.
