Tuesday, June 23, 2026 - President William Ruto’s security has been significantly scaled up following a security breach that occurred a month ago during the Thanksgiving service for Youth Affairs Principal Secretary, Fikirini Jacobs.
During the event, a man carrying a Bible bypassed multiple
layers of security, accessed the dais and briefly approached President Ruto
before being intercepted by security officers.
The dramatic incident raised national concern over
presidential security, prompting Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja to
launch investigations and review the presidential protection unit.
The changes led to a shake-up within the security detail,
including the replacement of Presidential Escort Commander Noah Kirwa Maiyo
with William Kiptoo Sawe.
A video taken in Kirinyaga on Monday, where the President
was on official duty, shows a visibly tightened security formation around him,
with officers maintaining a close protective perimeter.
Social media users have since noted the increased security
presence, observing that there is now “no room for chances” around the Head of
State.
