Legally, President Kenyatta will be entitled to two personal assistants, four secretaries, four messengers, four drivers and bodyguards pushing his soon-to-be personal office and home workers to 34 under the scheme funded by taxpayers.
President Kenyatta will also be entitled to four cars, including two limousines and two Sports Utility vehicles that are replaced every four years.
