Few things are as sure to excite a furore on re-organisation of the security detail of the country's VIPs, an exercise that is as much routine as it has been political.
The scaling down of former President Uhuru Kenyatta's security detail did not disappoint, as Kenyans stormed social media to question the move, many reading malice as it came amid a spat between Uhuru and his successor President William Ruto.
"The security of a former head of state/government - in America or in a banana republic like Kenya - isn't a political matter. It's about the security of the state itself. Should harm befall a former head of state/government, there would be hell to pay. My two cents," Azimio spokesperson Makau Mutua tweeted.
