Man Breaches Uhuru's Security to Deliver Note at Matiba's Memorial Service

An unidentified man breached President Uhuru Kenyatta's tight security to deliver a written note at Kenneth Matiba's memorial service in Murang'a.

The man who was well dressed in a white shirt made his way to where Uhuru was seated together with Deputy President William Ruto.

Although his move at the requiem mass came as a surprise, the security detail swang into action and whisked him away.

At this moment, however, the man had successfully accomplished his mission as his note was safely in the President's hands.

The Head of State took a moment before reaching into his pockets to reach out his reading glasses.

Reading through the note, Uhuru appeared to have appreciated the content as he smiled, folded the paper and placed it in the inside pocket of his jacket next to his chest.

Deputy President William Ruto, later on, appeared to enquire from the President on the content of the note which saw the two have a short discussion.

The president's security is a paramount concern with officers drawn from GSU's J-Company charged with the responsibility to protect him.

These officers are said to undergo serious training both locally and in Israel with an estimated 200 police officers said to be attached to his security detail

President Uhuru's outgoing nature and desire to associate with the citizens often have got his security detail thrown into disarray.

A notable case was in August 2017 when Uhuru made an impromptu decision to open the sunroof of his car near Survey, Thika Super Highway forcing his security to disembark from the speeding motorcade and perch on either side of his car to protect him.
