Three bodyguards attached to Deputy President William Ruto have been kicked out of the presidential escort unit.

This is after they were found at the home of Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi on September 11th when police raided the house seeking to arrest the politician over hate speech and incitement allegations.

The three, Chief Inspector Amos Ekiru and Constables Issack Dida and Simon Siengo, were transferred to different parts of the country after they were ejected from the unit tasked to guard the president, DP, and their families.

Ekiru has been moved to Bondo, Siaya County while Dida and Siengo were transferred to Mandera and Homa Bay respectively.

On that day, the three had escorted DP Ruto to his Sugoi home before driving to Sudi’s home in Eldoret’s Elgon View estate.

When police raided the home on the same day seeking to arrest Sudi, the three were found there while armed, according to reports. They could not explain why they were at the MP’s residence at night.

They were later summoned for questioning before the decision to transfer them was made.
