Additionally, Lengusuranga will be deputized by Colonel Damaris Agnetta from the Kenya Army too.
On Tuesday, October 4, he performed his first official job when he accompanied Ruto to Mathira, Nyeri county, for the burial of deputy president Rigathi Gachagua’s brother.

In 2003, Agnetta received her commission and was working as an artillery officer. She also participated in the UN Observer Mission.
Lengusuranga will be responsible for accompanying Ruto to official functions, escorting him into the vehicle, and standing at attention and saluting the President as he gets into the backseat.
Together with Agnetta, Lengusuranga will also be part of the team that will be giving the commander-in-chief security briefs before and after state functions.
Lengusuranga and Agnetta will also be charged with carrying personnel effects such as his phone, documents, and speeches during specific occasions.
