This is after the interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho stated that the Madaraka day celebrations that will take place in Kisumu at Jomo Kenyatta Stadium will only be attended by 3000 people.
According to PS kibicho, this is due to the increased cases of Covid 19 in the country and most especially in the lake region where the new Indian Covid 19 variant is speedily spreading.
Jomo Kenyatta Stadium can accommodate a capacity of 35000 people.
However, PS kibicho advised that people who will be invited will be then required to put on their face masks, sanitize and maintain social distance as one of the guidelines by the Health ministry.
On the other hand, the celebrations will be live-streamed for people who won't be able to attend to watch.
"We are happy to be here to inspect the ongoing works at the place where we will be celebrating Madaraka Day and we can report that finally work is complete and all systems are ready,’’ he said.
Kenya normally celebrates Madarka day on every 1st June to commemorates the day it took power when it attained internal self-rule in 1963.
