We discovered a video shared on CS Matiang’i’s Facebook page on June 13, 2022, during the paramilitary pass out in which he asked political leaders to keep security officers out of the political talk, not politicize security matters, and undermine the work security officers do. He called on politicians to respect those in the security sector. No threats were given by the CS on the withdrawal of DP Ruto security.
