Yator served the retired president for 48 years in the security field before he chose to retire.
He was once Mzee Jomo Kenyatta’s aid-de-camp where he tasked with dropping the current Head of State to and from school, a duty he undertook with passion.
His commitment won him admiration from all quarters. He will be remembered for the great role he played in the security department before he chose to retire from the service.
