Nothing left to chance in bid to secure the ‘people’s Pope’

NAIROBI: The Head of the Roman Catholic Church Pope Francis comes across as a simple and down to earth man. Ironically, preparing a security arrangement for him is proving a complicated affair.

Unlike other high profile dignitaries who move around in efficient and state-of-art modes of transport, Pope Francis is said to shun even a chopper. It is reported that the Vatican has communicated to the Kenyan officials that the Pope has refused to use a chopper while in Kenya and has opted to move around by road.
