Speaking to the press in a candid briefing, the Governor has revealed that he is being trailed by unidentified individuals.
A development that has prompted him to officially petition the government for additional security detail.
The Governor’s plea isn't just a casual request, it stems from what he describes as a calculated pattern of intimidation.
According to Wamatangi, the suspicious surveillance of his movements has escalated to a point where he no longer feels safe conducting his daily official duties without a more robust protective presence.
This alarm comes at an incredibly turbulent time for the Kiambu county boss. His personal and professional life has been under intense scrutiny following a series of high-profile enforcement actions.
This includes property demolitions. Recently, Wamatangi watched as his multi-million shilling property in Nairobi was reduced to rubble during a government-led demolition exercise.
Secondly, financial freeze. Adding to his woes, the Governor's bank accounts and those of his family were frozen as part of an ongoing investigation into an alleged corruption scandal within his administration.
Wamatangi seems to suggest that these events, the legal battles, the financial pressure and now the physical threats are not mere coincidences.
While he remains firm on his commitment to serve the people of Kiambu, he maintains that the pressure from shadowy figures has crossed a line from political opposition to personal endangerment.
The Governor has urged national security agencies to take his claims seriously, noting that the stability of the county's leadership depends on the safety of its elected officials.
As the authorities weigh his request, the situation remains a stark reminder of the high stakes and often volatile nature of Kenyan regional politics.
