Security, has been withdrawn for four lawmakers, and a governor who have pledged their undivided support, for deputy president Dr. William Ruto's presidential bid. Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wa, and Nakuru senator Susan Kihika, confirmed withdrawal of their security, adding that no reasons had been given for the same.
