President William Ruto's security detail has been revamped following a security breach in Migori County, where he was struck by a shoe during a public tour.
Police officers from the Presidential Escort Unit (PEU) have enforced strict crowd and VIP control measures, including restraining people from getting close to the president, according to data, images, and videos analysed by Kenyans.co.ke. During his working tour of Narok County, while addressing the locals at Ntulele and Suswa, President Ruto was forced to avoid the main podium where other leaders had camped.
Instead, the president addressed the locals from the rooftop of his SUV as other leaders waited for their turns to speak from the mounted dias. A line drawing above Presidential Escort Unit officers in a formation during President William Ruto's address in Narok on April 6, 2025.
PCS Uniformed officers from the General Service Unit and regular police formed a security cordon around the President's motorcade and accompanying leaders, creating a substantial buffer zone between the Head of State and the public.
