Only 15,000 mourners are allowed access to the Approved School grounds where the final mass will take place. Screens have been mounted in targeted areas within Othaya town to allow the mourners who won’t make it within the grounds to watch the service.

The country’s third President will be accorded full military honours during his burial, which includes the conveyance of the body of the former Head of State under escort in a Gun Carriage, accompanied by Military Musical Honors and a 19 gun-salute.

Kibaki will then be interred at his Munyange Home on the outskirts of Othaya town.
