Interior Ministry spokesperson stated that the changes were necessary to ensure the president’s security is not compromised in the future. The spokesperson emphasized that the government takes the security of the president and State House very seriously.
President Kenyatta has not made any public statements regarding the incident or the subsequent changes in his security team. However, sources close to the presidency suggest that he is supportive of the measures being taken to address the security lapse.
