Former Chief Justice David Marag announced Friday that the state has withdrawn his security.
In a letter addressed to the Inspector General of Police, Douglas Kanja, and Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen on Friday, June 27, the former CJ revealed that his security was withdrawn on Thursday, June 26.
According to Maraga, the officers were directed to report back to their stations.
“On 25th June 2025, the day I joined the youth and families of the victims who died and those who went missing from the events of a year ago, one of the officers attached to me was asked not to report for duty but instead go and make a routine (monthly) entry in the firearm register.
“On arrival that morning, he was suddenly informed of a training that was to take place on the same day.
The following day, on 26th June 2025, I was informed that the rest of the security officers have been asked to report to their stations, without any further information,” he wrote.
The former CJ added that he was not consulted when the state was undertaking the withdrawals.
Therefore, he called on the state to reinstate his security as he is entitled to protection given his service as a Chief Justice.
“While I understand that security officers on assignment are required to attend training from time to time, it is my understanding and past experience that such action is usually undertaken in consultation and with prior formal communication to me,” the former CJ expressed.
