The former CS said he learned of the planned raid earlier in the day.
He defended himself from any wrongdoing saying he left the government a clean man.

“Matiang’i being one of our senior leaders, deserves honor and privileged that dignitaries enjoy after service and not only for him but also other former leaders,”Nyandika said.
