Interior and National Administration Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen says he is yet to receive a formal complaint from former CS Justin Muturi on his security detail status.
He refuted claims that the alleged withdrawal of security could be political.
According to Murkomen, the matter should be addressed by the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja if it was done procedurally.
He also explained that the scale-down of officers is routine matter in the security sector, especially with regards to officers guarding former public office holders.
“That is a simple and small matter that should be handled by the IG. If it’s escalated to me, I will address it as per the law,” said the CS.
“We scale down security assigned to public officers once they vacate office. It’s normal and it applies to all, even me, if I leave office it,” he explained,
He said officers act as per the law and not influenced by political situations.
“Security officers operate within the law and are not influenced by politics,” said the CS.
