Former President Uhuru Kenyatta Caledonia residence to be gazetted as an official office after a phone call with William Ruto.
Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta has secured the use of his home next to the State House as his official office, following his phone call with President William Ruto on Tuesday, June 11.
This has been revealed by Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria that Uhuru’s residence on Nairobi’s Dennis Pritt Road, popularly known as Caledonia, will be gazetted as the Office of the Fourth President.
CS Kuria stated that President Ruto, in a briefing to his Cabinet, highlighted that Uhuru requested the use of his Caledonia residence as his official office.
“The home of the retired president is now going to be a gazetted government office, and that is not ordinary. In our understanding, we had done everything according to the Act, but the President, in his wisdom, said he didn’t want this issue to go out of hand,” CS Kuria told Citizen TV on Tuesday.
This decision follows a war of words between the government and Uhuru over the benefits enshrined in the Constitution.

In addition, CS Kuria revealed that one of Kenyatta’s primary concerns was the number of security personnel assigned to him.
The former president indicated that the current detail of 40 officers was insufficient.
During the phone call, Ruto and Uhuru discussed increasing this number to better meet security needs. Kuria explained, “He (Uhuru) felt that the 40 policemen guarding him are not enough and it was agreed that he determines whether it is 50, 60, or even 80.”
In response to these requests, a special committee has been established to address Former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s grievances.
