Just like Ruto, President Uhuru builds a palace next to State House which has landing platform for helicopters (Photos)

Both President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto have built themselves palatial residences that cost million if not billions of shillings.

A while back Kenyans were swept off their feet after photos of DP Ruto’s Kes 1.2 billion house in Sugoi, Uasin Gishu County surfaced online.

Ruto’s palatial residence, which sits on a 20-acre parcel of land the DP bought in Moiben constituency, has a helipad among other luxuries.

Well, the Star has also uncovered interesting details about President Uhuru Kenyatta’s palace which is located next to State House.

The daily established that Uhuru demolished the historic house he inherited from his father to put up a Kes 700 million fortress around Caledonia Estate which has bulletproof windows and special sensors.

Uhuru’s mansion is privately funded but all security features are designed by government experts. Satellite images from Google Maps confirm Uhuru’s new home which shares a fence with State House.

The Google image shows a swimming pool, a helipad on the roof of the upper level and a driveway with a mini roundabout.

The Star says that Uhuru’s property is protected round the clock by GSU officer, apparently construction workers on site are not allowed to enter the premises with their mobile phones to avoid leaking photos of the mansion to the public.

No one outside the construction crew knows the nature of the interior, a concrete wall and high-tech electric fence have concealed the president’s property from the public.
