On Friday evening, President Uhuru addressed the nation, faulting the move by the police to raid his son’s residence to confiscate the guns. He has never been interested in politics or business,” he said, adding that the founding father Jomo Kenyatta’s family is very huge, and even he has lost count and therefore he can not be held responsible for what they do. “This weekend’s drama at my son’s place is still a puzzle. The Fourth President argued that it was important to secure guns for protection, as his children are at risk and therefore can not take chances. They are for animals and he applied after I was out of office,” he added. My younger son has an interest in guns and it’s because of his hobby of shooting birds in Mwea, an irrigation scheme, to scare them away. “My son Jomo applied for three guns for his family’s protection, which is also vital in the operations at our farm in Narok county, with the open safari camps. They went to DCI and even their figure prints were taken and issued with the license,” explained Uhuru. I therefore encouraged them to apply and they followed due process. “I know there is no provision in law to extend the security of my children despite my request. The former Head of State revealed that his plea to the new administration to extend the security of his children for one year to allow them to acclimatise to the new life was rejected. “My son Jomo, who has never been interested in weapons, was forced to apply for a gun after his security was withdrawn immediately after the new administration came into office,” disclosed Uhuru. Uhuru has for the first time narrated the ordeal his family has gone through in recent days with allegations by a number of Kenya Kwanza leaders on the number of guns they have.Īccording to Uhuru, his two sons have three guns each and his daughter has none, which they were forced to apply for after their security was withdrawn immediately President William Ruto’s government took over office last year. Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta has set the record straight on the claims that his sons have a number of guns, which the State seeks to repossess. Overall, any asset that requires tracking and management can be tagged or labelled with asset labels, regardless of the asset type or industry.Uhuru Kenyatta: My children’s security was withdrawn after Ruto got into office
