Wednesday, February 5, 2025 - Photos of President Ruto addressing Mandera residents during his development tour have gone viral on social media.
The images show the president flanked by heavily armed
special police officers and plain-clothed security personnel, forming a tight
barrier between him and the crowd.
Notably, the security detail appeared to outnumber the
audience.
Instead of using a dais, President Ruto opted to address
residents from his bulletproof vehicle, signaling heightened security concerns.
The heavy security deployment followed the abduction of five
local chiefs in Mandera South by suspected Al-Shabaab militants just hours
before his arrival.
