However, after Muturi walked a few steps, he tried to pocket as though he was looking for something in his pocket, prompting Uhuru's bodyguard to frisk the pocket area.
According to Nairobi senator Johnson Sakaja, there was nothing regarding the incident as it was a matter of protocol at a national function.
"It’s not pockets. It’s that when the anthem is being played the president must be a step or two ahead of the rest. So he was being stopped from moving forward," he explained.Two days ago, Lucky Summer residents were left speechless after a man jumped in front of Uhuru's motorcade.

Nyambane said his actions were not premeditated and that he also did not understand how he was able to pull the act in a flash of seconds.
"I wanted to talk to him, but I saw the security team was coming my may...when the ambulance passed, I knew the Benze was carrying my leader whom I really wanted to talk to. I do not even understand how I did that. It was just the spirit that pushed me, and after I saw him, I said, this is my golden time without minding the vehicles," he said.
