It was a win for Kandara MP Alice Wahome on Thursday after the High Court directed the Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai to restore her security detail without fail. Justice James Makau said the IG and Attorney General cannot be allowed to selectively withdraw Wahome's security for ulterior motives. Through lawyer Stephen Gitonga, Wahome argued that she was never informed of the reasons for her security withdrawal. Judge Makau said if the IG had the powers to withdraw her security, he ought to have informed her of the charges and given her a fair hearing. Makau termed the action of the IG unconstitutional and further prohibited him from withdrawing the MP's security without following proper procedure.
