Uhuru Given Until Tomorrow to Surrender Guns

This comes two days after the police raided the home of the former president’s son Jomo Kenyatta in search of guns that State claims are illegally registered and have been used in the recent wave of protests.

Friday’s raid was the first time the government was targeting the family of the former President who fell out with President William Ruto in his last term.

Ruto and his allies have accused Uhuru of financing the anti-government protests led by Azimio leader Raila Odinga, claims that the former president has denied.

Uhuru has also questioned the government’s motive in targeting his family and calling out his name despite having retired and handed over power peacefully.

“If I am the problem, just come for me. My silence doesn’t imply fear. Come directly for me. Why involve my mother or my son in whatever is happening? Is it a crime for me to associate with Raila?” He posed.

Interior CS Kithure Kindiki defended the officers’ raid, indicating that it was an operation conducted on three homes in Karen, Nairobi, including Jomo Kenyatta’s.

He noted that police had recovered 23 guns from the raid in the other two homes.
