It was the Monday meeting, according to State House sources, that paved the way for the phone conversation. President Ruto gave instructions for security organs to quickly address Mr Kenyatta’s security concerns. Mr Koskei has also been instructed to engage the Public Service Commission (PSC) to address Mr Kenyatta’s request for additional staff. Two days later, Mr Metito, through Mr John Makumi, requested Mr Kenyatta’s office to “urgently specify the make and preferred colour of the vehicles” for further action. However, State House later regretted that the cost of the four state-of-the-art vehicles had exceeded the Sh140 million budget.
