The public noticed when a female aide-de-camp accompanied President Uhuru Kenyatta to a function in Nyeri on Friday as this is unusual.
The woman in a blue outfit, complete with a hat, is a Lieutenant Colonel and the deputy to new aide-de-camp Lieutenant Colonel Timothy Stelu Lekolol.
The Deputy ADC who is from the Kenya Airforce going by her uniform, made her first public appearance during the music festival in that county.
The roles of ADCs include receiving gifts and other items on behalf of the President, escorting him from State House into a waiting car, opening the door, and standing at attention and saluting when the President sits.
Other roles are carrying the President’s personal items, including mobile phones and speeches, and attending to his other needs as required
