Government Spokesperson Cyrus Oguna has dismissed claims that President Uhuru Kenyatta’s security was under threat during his visit to Lucky Summer area, Nairobi County.
On Wednesday, May 26, 2021, a civilian had obstructed the Head of State’s convoy at Lucky Summer area in Nairobi where he had gone to launch a Ksh. 300 million slaughterhouse.
According to Oguna, the man was just an overzealous citizen who was excited to see President Kenyatta.
“On 26 May 2021, an individual stepped infront of the Presidential motorcade during the President’s tour at Lucky Summer, Nairobi County”
“The individual is a citizen who was only excited to see the motorcade of His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta. We wish to allay any fears that the President’s security was under threat,” Oguna stated.
