Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has claimed that the raid of his son's home was a plan to plant guns on his son Jomo Kenyatta.
Speaking to the media, Uhuru said the alleged guns are propaganda and the whole issue hurt him.
"This gun issue is surrounded by lots of propaganda to divert attention from what has been happening. I believe they wanted to plant guns in my son's compound" he said.
"I went because of a distress call from my son. I was not drunk, I was extremely hurt," he said.
Kenyatta has also come out clean on the issue of the number of guns held by his sons.
He said his two sons Jomo and Muhoho own six guns, three each adding that they are all legally registered.
Uhuru said his daughter Ngina owns no gun.
"My son Jomo has never been interested in weapons. He was forced to apply for a gun after his security was withdrawn," Uhuru claimed.
Uhuru further revealed that he has been forced to share his security with his mother, Mama Ngina Kenyatta after her security was withdrawn last week.
"The benefits my mum enjoys are not because of me but because she is a former First Lady. We have to hire private security guards," he said.
Last week on Friday, Uhuru fired back at the government after suspected police officers raided his eldest son Jomo Kenyatta's Karen home.
He said he received a phone call that the officer had arrived at the home in vehicles having Sudanese number plates.
"I was in the office when I received the call that the police were here. I heard they were with vehicles bearing Sudanese number plates. I gave instructions for them not to open until I am here," he said.
He condemned the raid at his son's Karen home saying the government should deal with him instead of interfering with the lives of his children.
"The fact that I have been silent does not mean I am scared. Come For me if it is me that you want," Uhuru said.
