An activist has sued Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen over the withdrawal of the security detail of Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya and Senator Bonny Khalwale.

In a petition before Justice Lawrence Mugambi, the activist, Julius Ogogoh, terms Murkomen's decision to withdraw the security of the two leaders as illegal, unconstitutional and void.
