Uhuru Kenyatta Accuses Authorities Of Using Raid On Son’s Home As An Attempt To Plant Guns & Drugs.
Kenyatta, who spoke at a press conference at Jomo’s home in Karen on Monday evening, said he was hurt by the raid and had been forced to stay at his son’s home to prevent further incidents.
He said that both of his sons own licensed firearms, but that neither of them has been asked to surrender them to the authorities.
Kenyatta said that he believes the raid was an attempt to divert attention from other issues and that there was no basis for the allegations against his son.
Kenyatta’s press conference comes after a week of controversy surrounding the raid on his son’s home. The raid was carried out by police officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on July 21, 2023.
The DCI said that the raid was carried out in response to a tip-off that Jomo was in possession of illegal firearms. However, no illegal firearms were found during the raid.
The raid has been criticized by some as an attempt to target Kenyatta and his family. The former president has denied any wrongdoing and has said that he is confident that the truth will come out.
