MP Rejects State-Provided Bodyguards, Cites Safety Concerns

Naivasha MP Jayne Kihara Rejects Government-Provided Bodyguards, Cites Safety Concerns

Naivasha Member of Parliament Jayne Kihara has strongly declared that she will not accept bodyguards assigned by the government, saying she fears for her life if she relies on State-provided security.

According to the MP, the government is now using security officers as a weapon for political intimidation and punishment. She insisted that receiving security personnel from the government would put her life in even greater danger.

Her firm decision comes in the wake of the controversial incident involving Juja MP George Koimburi, who was reported missing under mysterious circumstances.

The case has caused public outcry, especially among opposition leaders who see it as a targeted move against dissenting voices.

Kihara further claimed that her former security officers were recently withdrawn without proper explanation and even disarmed.

“This is not something new; we have witnessed this kind of intimidation before,” she said. “Right now, I don’t have any officers.

I wasn’t informed of any investigation. My bodyguards were just told to hand over their phones and firearms. At this point, my safety is only in God’s hands.”

She firmly stated that she will not agree to be given new security personnel by the government. “If they try to assign me new bodyguards, I will turn them away.

That will be the exact way they plan to kill me,” she said boldly. “I will only accept protection from individuals that I personally choose and trust.”

Kihara believes her security problems are directly linked to her political views, especially her open criticism of the Kenya Kwanza administration and her strong association with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

She also revealed that her personal bodyguard was recently summoned in Naivasha and subjected to interrogation regarding a violent incident that occurred during a political event organized by Gachagua on May 15.

During that event, a person suspected to be a police officer fired gunshots into the air as the crowd surged towards the venue’s entrance.

This is not the first time MP Kihara has spoken out about threats to her safety. On Friday, May 23, the same day Juja MP Koimburi reportedly escaped from police officers, Kihara made an emotional appeal to President William Ruto, asking for her security detail to be restored.

“I feel exposed and extremely unsafe right now,” she said. “Mr. President, I am pleading with you—please return my security officer.

I’m just a small person, and using so much power against me is not right. I deserve to live. Taking away my bodyguard feels like a move to harm me, and that’s not something a leader should do.”

At the time, she mentioned the death of Kasipul MP Charles Were as a key reason why MPs need more protection.

However, after the troubling reports of MP Koimburi’s alleged abduction, Kihara now appears even more resolute in her decision to reject State-assigned protection.

Meanwhile, opposition leaders continue to accuse the government of targeting and silencing its critics.

Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has dismissed claims by the National Police Service that MP Koimburi faked his disappearance. He insisted that the situation is more serious and needs to be investigated thoroughly.

Both Kalonzo and Rigathi Gachagua have raised concerns about the existence of an alleged rogue police unit. Gachagua went as far as claiming that this secret unit might be using harmful chemical substances to torture and weaken government critics.

These ongoing developments have heightened political tensions and sparked fears over the safety of opposition-aligned politicians in Kenya.
