According to government officials, there has been a dramatic reduction in the security provided for retired President Uhuru Kenyatta. The Daily Nation further said that a senior police officer in charge of the security squad had been brought in and replaced with a subordinate.
According to a source who spoke to the Nation yesterday, Mr. Kenyatta is now down to 25 of the 96 elite officers who were assigned to him, while the former First Lady is down to five. The source also said security personnel assigned to Mr. Kenyatta's other family members were all withdrawn.
Since a chief inspector is supposed to be in charge of the former president's security detail, an officer with the rank of assistant inspector general was called back. However, a superintendent of police is currently in charge of the lean team.
