However, in what observers and members of the public can attribute to the heavy rains that pounded Nairobi city in the morning hours, the soldier slipped and fell, seemingly disrupting the conversation between the King and Ruto.
Her colleague, seeing that she was in danger, had tried to assist her but she picked herself up very quickly and proceeded to open the left back door of the Land Rover Discovery ferrying the King and Queen for the former to get in.
