describing the move as a &#8220;security rearrangement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"theiaPostSlider_preloadedSlide\">\n<p>Matiangi told a parliamentary committee on security on Wednesday that Ruto retained his close protection unit comprised of Presidential Escort Unit with a total of 74 officers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Ministry categorically refutes the allegations and regards them as irresponsible and misleading,\u201d the CS submitted before the National Assembly departmental committee on National Administration and Security.<\/p>\n<p>He said the second layer of security comprising of GSU was changed to Administration Police after consultations among national security agencies.<\/p>\n<p>Matiangi said a total of 257 officers guard installations of interest to the Deputy President including a hanger at Wilson airport and his farms.<\/p>\n<p>He said Ruto\u2019s security detail which has three layers, the first layer compromises of 74 Presidential Escort Unit (PEU) officers, 5 General Service Unit (GSU) officers and 6 Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) officers.<\/p>\n<p>The second layer has 121 Administration Police officers spread across the country and supported by mobile patrols by local police stations.<\/p>\n<p>The third layer has 51 officers who have been posted in various Ruto\u2019s properties.<\/p>\n<p>Properties listed include Weston Hotel which has four officers, Dolphine Hotel in Mombasa which has six officers, Koitalel Poultry Farm in Eldoret which has four officers among others.<\/p>\n<p>Matiangi said Ruto was by far more protected in comparison to previous Vice Presidents from the time of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga who he revealed only had 30 officers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe always comply when the office of the Deputy President asks for more officers because we cannot risk anything and later be subjected to the fury of Kenyans when something happens,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"theiaPostSlider_footer _footer\">Matiangi urged Parliament to come up with a legislation that places a cap on the number officers government officials should be allocated.<\/div>\n<div class=\"theiaPostSlider_footer _footer\">\n\u201cWe need to be guided so that we avoid scenarios where we are being requested to go and guard kiosks and butcheries,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>He noted that the decision of the National Police Service to restructure and reassign personnel assigned to Ruto&#8217;s Karen residence was part of the ongoing reforms that began in 2010 with the objective of among things making the service efficient, agile and mission responsive.<\/div>\n<div>\n\u201cThis process is anchored in the Constitution and Statute and will continue until the reforms objectives are fully met,&#8221;
