On Friday, Kenyans were of varied opinions concerning President Uhuru Kenyatta’s security, when a video of his motorcade driving inside State House, Nairobi, was shared on social media.

The clip showed a person in one of the vehicles in the convoy taking footage as the Head of State proceeded inside the House on the Hill.

The recording captured the whole procession and the compound of State House.

As a security measure, the President’s residence is a protected area where taking of photos and videos is usually prohibited unless permission is granted.

The video irked a section of the public who opined that it was a breach of his security.
