Presidential Candidates to Get At Least 10 Bodyguards Each

Presidential Candidates to Get At Least 10 Bodyguards Each

The government will provide each of the presidential candidates in the August 9th elections with at least 10 armed police officers to ensure their safety.

Inspector-General of Police Hilary Mutyambai has set aside more than 200 officers drawn from the General Service Unit, Kenya Police, Administration Police, and Prisons Service to guard presidential candidates, and their running mates, according to media reports.

The Constitution states that a presidential election shall be postponed in the event of the death of one of the candidates or their running mates in the period leading to the election.

Clause 138 (8) (b) of the Constitution says: “A presidential election shall be cancelled and a new election held if a candidate for election as President or Deputy President dies on or before the scheduled election date".

Clause 138(9) of the Constitution explains that a new presidential election under clause (8) shall be held within 60 days after the date set for the previous election.

Candidates in this year’s election will be accorded round-the-clock security, with officers assigned to protect them, their offices, and their homes until the conclusion of the general election.

Citizen TV reports that the officers, headed by an inspector, will be assigned to the candidates and their running mates once the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) gazettes their names on June 8th.

So far, the electoral commission has cleared five candidates including Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya coalition presidential flagbearer Raila Odinga, Deputy President William Ruto of the UDA party, Prof. George Wajackoyah of Roots Party, Walter Mong'are of Umoja Summit Party, and lawyer David Mwaura Waihiga of the Agano party.

This none performing DP has over 200 guards. Now he will get an additional 10 guards to help serve Mursik in Karen to akina @Asista and Gachagua.

@Imara, asante sana. Lakini hii ni mambo ya ajabu. Huyu mtu arap Ruto is using government house like a hotel. All he does is receive akina Asista and company + campaign. Glad Asista disapproves of him getting more staff/ guards in this "hotel"

@ Mugikuyu:

Kama Samoei akiiba kura halafu achaguliwe rais wa nchi, mimi na wewe tutafute nchi nyingine ya kuishi kwa sababu, haikosi @Asista amemwambia Samoei juu ya mambo ambayo mimi na wewe husema juu yake!

😃😃Mugikuyu and rafiki Imara please don’t panic or have any doubts or fear of retribution on the inevitable coming reign of Ruto government. He is a decent man who will honor and treat everyone equally whether you voted for him or not. Your most worries should be coming from the Azimia when they loose; that they are going to cause an imaginable catastrophe within the people of Kenya. Notwithstanding you as his supporters will bear the brunt.

I wonder if that weed-smoking presidential candidate will be arrested by his guards who are after all police officers if he fires one up.

Inaaonekana wazi ya kwamba, Ndugu yetu Wafula Chebukati hajasoma Sura ya Sita (6) ya Katiba yetu mpya ya Kenya. Kwa nini? Hamna tofauti ya Ndugu Raila na Ndugu Samoei na yue aliyekatazwa kugombea kiti chochote nchini Ndugu Sonko. Wote watatu hawafai hata kidogo.

Kwa hawa ndugu zetu watatu, aliye hatari sana kuliko wengine wawili ni Ndugu Samoei. Kwa nini? Huyu Ndugu yetu anatumia kanisa bandia la Mwana wa mariamu kuwadanyanya watu wa Kenya ya kwamba, yeye ni mtu mzuri.

Alimfanya mimba mwanafunzi wa Chuo Kikuu na huku ana mkewe na watoto nyumbani. Nilipokuwa mfuasi wa dini hii bandia ya Kiyahudi ambayo inatumia bibilia kama msingi wa imani yao, nilisoma ya kwamba, mungu huyu wa Kiyahudi alitoa 'Amri Kumi" ambazo alisema ni lazima zifuatwe kila sekondi, dakika, saa, siku, wiki, mwezi, mwaka, na isitoshe na pia karne.

Hebu tuchunguze kwa makini Amri hizi kumi ambazo Ndugu yetu Samoei huvunja kila wakati:

3. Thou shall not take the name of of the lord in vain.
6. Thou shall not kill (Kiambaa Church holocaust)
7. Thou shall not commit adultery
8. Thou shall not steal (Shamba la Muteshi)
9. Thyou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Amesema uwongo mwingi juu ya Ris wa Jamhuri ya Kenya Ndugu Uhuru Ngina Kamau (Kenyatta)
10. Thou shall not covet thy neighbors house. (Weston Hotel)

Kila siku, huyu ndugu yetu huvunja sheria 6 kutoka kwa sheria kumi. Yeye ni mnafiki (hypocrite)

Hawezi kupta mtihani wa Katiba ya Kenya Sura ya Sita.

Ndugu Chebukati, Naomba usome zaidi juu ya tabia mbovu za Ndugu zetu Raila na Samoei halafu uwanyanganye cheti cha kugombea uchaguzi 2022.
