Newly appointed ADC from KDF Special Forces
President William Ruto has appointed Colonel Fabian Lengusuranga as a new Aide-De-Camp to replace Lieutenant Colonel Timothy Lekolool.
Timothy was promoted to Brigadier and redeployed to the Department of Defence headquarters in Hurlingham.
Colonel Lengusuranga started his work by accompanying President Ruto to Mathira, Nyeri County where he attended the burial of Jack Gachagua, the elder brother of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Before his appointment, he served as a senior Special Forces branch commander and an accomplished military man, having been commissioned in 1999.
Lieutenant Colonel Damaris Agnetta, also of the Kenya Army was appointed as the assistant ADC to replace Colonel Rachel Nduta Kamui.
Colonel Nduta has been assigned to the Department of Defense's main office after being promoted to the rank of colonel.
The new assistant ADC, Lieutenant Colonel Agnetta, has been a member of the KDF artillery department and was commissioned in 2003. Additionally, she participated in a UN Observer Mission.
Candidates who are appointed as ADCs are forwarded by the KDF top brass but the president also has a say in terms of preference.
According to a past interview by former ADC Major (Rtd) Marsden Madoka, former President Jomo Kenyatta once fired an ADC and had him discharged from the military.
