What prompted Muturi to submit the request

In response, the Secretary of the Cabinet of Public Service recently took legal action, saying that the removal of his security was a violation of his constitutional rights.
In his ruling, Judge Chacha Mwita, who led the case in the Mountains Law Court, noted that the request presented the underlying reasons for the intervention immediately.
He issued a directive of conservatives directing IG to restore Muturi's safety without delay, maintaining it until the case proceeds.
