Policeman Attached to Deputy President William Ruto’s Office Commits Suicide

A police officer attached to Deputy President William Ruto’s office has allegedly committed suicide in Eldoret.

David Too reportedly jumped into a dam formed from a quarry in Ngeria, Uasin Gishu County, according to The Standard.

Family sources said the officer jumped into the dam at around 9:00 am on Friday over what is suspected to be work-related stress.

The deceased’s brother Aaron Sing'oei said he misplaced a camera belonging to the Deputy President Press Unit a few days ago.

"He has been under pressure to explain how the camera he had in his possession got lost," Sing'oei said.

Sing'oei said Too had served in Ruto’s security team for some years.

Uasin Gishu County police commander Ayub Gitonga who confirmed the incident said the deceased had traveled home to prepare his children for school reopening next week.

"He had reported that he lost some equipment which the police are yet to recover," said Gitonga.

His body was retrieved from the dam at 3:00 pm and taken to a local preservation facility.
