Ruto: I am okay with AP, MPs should not waste time discussing my security
After saying “I don’t mind AP security, they can even bring G4S”, Deputy President William Ruto now argues that Parliament should focus on ‘other’ issues as compared to discussing the changes recently made on his security detail.
He aired the views on Twitter, in response to a local news headline that suggesting lawmakers planned to grill Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, and PS Karanja Kibicho in relation to last week’s incident in which his security was reportedly downgraded.
Ruto emphasized that discussing the change in his security was a ‘waste of time’.
PARLIAMENTARY time should not be WASTED on non-issues. The AP is a PROFESSIONAL SECURITY SERVICE and those who think its a down grade are WRONG. Parliament should instead focus on DEPLOYMENT to serious security SITUATIONS in areas where bandits are causing mayhem & destruction. pic.twitter.com/9fAbe5ugqy
