Outgoing Parliament Chief Sergeant at Arm Aloisio Nterepu Lekolu./SCREENGRABIn a solemn ceremony at the National Assembly, Speaker Moses Wetang’ula paid tribute to Aloisio Nterepu Lekulo, OGW, honouring him for nearly two decades of dedicated service as Chief Sergeant at Arms.
Likulo, who joined Parliament in 2006, is set to retire on November 24, 2025.
Wetang’ula during the State of the Nation Address, praised Likulo’s steady leadership, saying his tenure professionalized the department and drove key reforms in security, protocol, and estate management.
“Honorable members, I wish to draw your attention to the officer standing to the right of the chamber in green. He is the Chief Sergeant at Arms of the National Assembly, Mr Aloisio Likulo OGW,” Wetangula began.
“This special mention of this gallant son of Kenya is for the reason that he comes from the smallest community in our nation, the Elmolo.”
The National Assembly speaker said Elmolo, according to the last census numbers, had a population of just about 500.
Under his watch, the Sergeant-at-Arms service evolved significantly and oversaw the modernisation of security operations and event management.
The National Assembly Speaker singled out Likulo’s role in raising the profile of the Sergeant-at-Arms both locally and internationally.
Before his parliamentary career, Likulo served in the provincial administration as a district officer across counties, including Isiolo, Trans Nzoia, and Laikipia.
“He has risen through the ranks as a high school teacher, as a District Officer and competitively employed in parliament in 2006 in the sergeant’s office, rising to become the Chief Sergeant at Arms,” Wetangula said.
He further noted that it was Likulo’s last day of duty, having served diligently in public service.
Wetang’ula therefore expressed gratitude, saying, “The National Assembly, the Parliamentary Service Commission, and the Office of the Speaker appreciate his contribution to strengthening institutional capacity and wish him well.”
Likulo’s responsibilities extended beyond security, as he also served on the National Assembly Board of Management, contributing to administrative policy development.
According to reports, his department under his leadership also enhanced training for VIP security and improved event organisation within Parliament.
As he steps down, Likulo leaves behind a legacy of professionalism and institutional strengthening.
The National Assembly’s formal recognition reflects his impact on parliamentary operations, security, and protocol over the years.
The high-profile parliamentary event had president William Ruto present, accompanied by First Lady Mama Rachel,
They had been received by Deputy President Kithure Kindiki and Chief of Defence Forces General Charles Kahariri.
A deployment of General Service Unit (GSU) personnel and regular police officers had been strategically stationed on key areas along routes leading to the National Assembly, including Harambee Avenue and City Hall Way.
