The motivation for the change was unclear with Kenyans on Twitter (KOT) speculating that it could be part of heightened security measures or another manifestation of the ‘look East’ policy adopted by President Kenyatta’s government.
“Our president is now in a bullet proof LAND CRUISER? Where is our ceremonial Landie?,” @MediaMK posed.
While @Kenajode saw it as a definite move East, “Moving East kabisa even chase cars including one that dropped him Toyota Landcruiser VX and Prados no European cars!!”
Former Activist and photojournalist Boniface Mwangi was however of a different opinion and saw the bullet proofed Toyota as a consequence of increased insecurity in the country.
“The crowd at the stadium is screened but Uhuru’s vehicle is proof that Kenya is no longer as safe as it used to be,” he tweeted.
