Brig Lekolool saluted and immediately crossed over and stood behind President Ruto shifting his allegiance to the new Head of State.
With his duties pertaining to opening the door for the President, standing at attention and saluting when the President sits on the back seat, closing the door and occupying the front passenger’s seat, ADCs are more visible during public events but retire to their residences once the President takes a break.

At times the ADC carries the President’s personal items like mobile phones and speeches. He also receives gifts or other items on behalf of the President.
However, President Ruto is expected to appoint his own ADC, a military officer who shall represent the military in the presidency.
Uhuru appointed Kenya Navy Brigadier Lekolool as his ADC in 2018.
Lekolool is a family man and Kenya Navy soldier who made history to become the first Navy Officer to be appointed as an ADC in the country.
