Government To Withdraw Security For Criminal VIPs

The government will withdraw security detail for all VIPs who are involved in criminal activities according to a statement released by the National Police Service.

The announcement also comes at a time where Embakasi East MP Babu Owino is facing attempted murder charges after shooting a DJ in the neck at B Club in Kilimani, Nairobi.
