Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho, a member of the Assumption of Office Committee, confirmed on Saturday that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is already making arrangements to accommodate the welfare of the leaders.
“All the protocols associated with the visiting Heads of State leading by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are already making plans,” Kibicho said.
Kibicho noted that they expect the 60, 000 capacity stadium to be filled to the brim and advised Kenyans who will attend physically to be seated by 7.00 am.
The gates at the venue will be opened at 4.00 am, with Kibicho assuring that adequate security measures have been put in place to ensure there will be no hitches.
10, 000 police officers will be deployed at the venue to “ensure order and everybody is safe.”
Kibicho, at the same time, assured that all is set for the day, noting that the committee “is satisfied with the preparations and we have no doubt that we will have a colorful event.”
A spot check by Capital News at the venue revealed that final touches were being made to ensure nothing goes wrong on a historic day.
Kibicho stated that the infrastructural preparations, including the main podium expansion, would be completed by Sunday’s close of business.
