The elite presidential escort guards have been taken from Deputy President William Ruto’s security detail and replaced with Administration Police (AP) officers.
On Thursday, August 26, sources familiar with the adjustments say that the number of security guards assigned to secure his Karen and Eldoret homes has been drastically reduced.
According to the source, who requested anonymity, the modifications are part of the government’s usual adjustments.
Some of the security officers who were recalled from the DP’s security detail will be reassigned to other jobs.
Oscar Sudi, a Kapseret Member of Parliament, claimed on Facebook that the DP’s security had been removed from his Karen and Sugoi homes.
He blamed the changes on President Uhuru Kenyatta and Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i.
“President Uhuru Kenyatta is a very petty President, but CS Matiang’i is the prettiest of all. The duo has just ordered the withdrawal of all security officers manning Sugoi, Elgon View home, Karen Residence, and all other premises linked to DP Ruto,” Sudi stated.
