They include:
Kitengela Gas

Murumbi Farm – Transmara Narok
ADC Laikipia Mutara Ranch – 15000 acres
Dolphine Hotel, Mombasa
Mata Farm, Taita Taveta – 2537 acres
Private residence Elgon View
Koitalel poultry farm Eldoret
Private Residence in Kosachei Eldoret

The CS explained that these properties are guarded by security officers provided by the state.
He further said that DP Ruto has 74 presidential escort team, five GSU drivers and six DCI officers in his inner cycle of the security team.
“The presidential escort team for DP is intact. These are people who have been with him for a long time. No one has changed them,” Matiang’i told the committee.
The CS clarified that another 121 police officers are seconded to the DP in his layer 2 security detail to guard his official premises.
“I want to make this very clear. It is not true that the DP is not protected. No one withdrew the security of the Deputy President. It was just a rearrangement,” Matiang’i explained.
