Suna East Member of Parliament Junet Mohammed, on Thursday drafted a letter to the Speaker of the national assembly Justin Muturi asking him to convince President Uhuru Kenyatta to reinstate security details assigned to the opposition members.
In the letter, Junet states: "The withdrawal is discriminatory to members of the minority who seems to have been targeted."
This comes a day after officers attached to several Opposition leaders were disarmed and reassigned to the General Service Unit headquarters.
Junet, who is also Minority Whip, added that: "Nothing portrays the illegitimacy and incompetence of the Jubilee executive than these illegal, reprehensible and totally primitive reactions to a political reality whose solution lies elsewhere."
He noted that the withdrawal of their security was "flagrant abuse" of the Constitution and the law, actions which he noted, "can only lead to more chaos."
Junet urged Muturi to rise to the occasion and reject the rule of law against parliamentarians.
According to the lawmaker: "Nothing portrays the illegitimacy and incompetence of the Jubilee executive than these illegal, reprehensible and totally primitive reactions to a political reality whose solution lies elsewhere."
