Details: George Saitoti's food was checked by four security officers

Stories of highly secretive politicians who trusted nobody with what they ate are many. The names of the late Nicholas Biwott and George Saitoti come to mind.

After his death, The Standard wrote how: “Biwott would not serve himself food at the Bunge cafeteria but he would still eat anyway. His trick was simple; he would either join MPs already served at a table and pour for himself their tea or just direct waiters rushing tea and snacks to another table to give him and then go back for a fresh order.”
