Kandara Member of Parliament Alice Wahome now says she will sue president Kenyatta for militarizing public institutions and government agencies in the country.

Wahome said the president has been militarizing the civilian government in total disregard of the constitution and court orders.

'' I will be among those leaders who will protect the constitution, I will move to court and present my petition against his decision,'' said Wahome.

The legislator's sentiments come after president Kenyatta decide to put various government institutions under the leadership of Kenya Defense forces.
