Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya has dared the Government to withdraw security from all governors.

He condemned the move by the Government to withdraw the security officers of Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho.

Mr Oparanya, who is also the Council of Governors (CoG) Finance Committee chairperson, expressed fears that the kind of intimidation Joho was facing could be extended to other governors in Opposition.
