The officers protecting Mr. Odinga today are from the presidential escort unit formed entirely by the General Service Unit (GSU)-Recce squad that guards President Uhuru Kenyatta, his deputy William Ruto and other state dignitaries.
Recce Squad is one of the most feared special forces in Kenya that are used for only special assignments. The fearless officers are known for facing targets head-on leaving them with no space for retaliation.
