“Mlitaka nifanye nini?” (What did you expect me to do?) Natembeya demanded, emphasizing his adherence to national duty over ethnic allegiance.
In a sharp rebuke, Natembeya insisted that his role under the executive office required strict professionalism, impartiality, and service to all Kenyans regardless of tribe.

The clip has since gone viral across social media platforms, drawing mixed reactions.
