The appointment of President William Ruto’s ADC Lt Col. Damaris Agnetta has sent shockwaves through Kenya’s political circles. The stunning army officer was recently spotted on duty with the President during the launch of the Women Enterprise at KICC, and the internet has been buzzing with praise for her ever since. But who is Lt Col. Damaris Agnetta? Here are some amazing facts about the strictly-eyed and beautiful army officer.
Lt Col. Agnetta serves as the deputy of Ruto’s official ADC Colonel Fabian Lengusuranga of the Kenya Army. Her appointment was part of a reshuffle of the President’s closest aides after he took office. Former ADC Timothy Lekolool of the Kenyan Navy was replaced with Fabian Lengusuranga, while Lekolool’s Deputy Racheal Nduta Kamui of the Kenyan airforce was replaced with Lt Col. Agnetta.

Since her commission in 2003, Lt. Col. Damaris Agnetta has been dedicated to serving in the capacity of an Artillery officer. Her service record also includes a stint with the United Nations Observer Mission, where she demonstrated her commitment to global peacekeeping efforts. She was recently thrust into the spotlight after being spotted on duty with the President, and netizens have been showering her with praise.
But what exactly does the President’s ADC do? During official functions, the ADC is the military officer positioned behind the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces. As part of their duties, the President’s ADC is responsible for receiving gifts and other items on behalf of the President. Additionally, they escort the President to waiting cars and ensure that their seat is properly arranged at any function they attend. The ADC is also tasked with carrying the President’s personal items, such as mobile phones and speeches, when they attend various functions.
In a country where gender equality remains a pressing issue, Lt Col. Agnetta’s appointment has been hailed as a step in the right direction. “At least now the 2/3 gender rule is being practiced openly. That’s a great move Mr. President,” one Twitter user wrote. But while her appointment may be a significant milestone, it is Lt Col. Agnetta’s skill and dedication to duty that have truly captured the public’s attention.
