The ceremony, scheduled for Saturday, is expected to draw leaders, clergy, and thousands of faithful from across the country.
The Archbishop has extended invitations to both President William Ruto and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua as chief guests.
While this move reflects an effort to promote unity, it has also created quiet tension due to the strained political relationship between the two leaders.
President Ruto remains the country’s sitting head of state and a frequent guest at major religious and public functions.
His attendance would signal respect for the church and reaffirm his connection with the Mt Kenya region, which remains politically important to his administration.
On the other hand, Rigathi Gachagua has maintained a strong grassroots presence in the same region since leaving office.
He continues to position himself as a key voice for local interests and has used public gatherings to reinforce his political relevance.
