State House has denied claims that President Uhuru Kenyatta wore a bullet-proof vest during an event at the house on the hill on Friday morning.

A picture uploaded on President Kenyatta’s official Facebook page shows what looks like an armoured vest covered by a cardigan and a jacket.

Several bloggers have shared the image, speculating that the president was distrusting his security detail.

The head of state was meeting pupils under the Pupils Reward Scheme (PURES) mentoring program, which is a joint venture with the First Lady Margaret Kenyatta.

But reached for comment, both State House director of public communication Munyori Buku and digital communication director Dennis Itumbi denied the claims.

“Nope,” said Mr Buku.
