Embakasi East Member of Parliament, Babu Owino, claims that his official security detail was withdrawn in retaliation for his participation in the June 25 protests against the government's finance policies.

• Owino described the withdrawal as an “attack on democracy” following his involvement in protests honoring victims of previous demonstrations, resulting in **11 deaths**.
• He emphasizes that his support comes from the Kenyan people, stating, “Kenyans are my security.”
• The protests also faced police resistance, making it difficult for families of previous victims to present petitions to Parliament due to heightened security.
