President William Ruto’s Principal Secretary for the Interior and National Coordination Raymond Omollo has released details and events that will happen in Kithure Kindiki’s one hour Swearing In Ceremony.
Speaking on Citizen TV hours to the event, Raymond Omollo noted that the swearing-in ceremony of Prof Kindiki will begin at 10:00 am and last for only one hour after which normal events will resume immediately.
According to Omollo, the swearing-in was a judicial process and thus the reason for the unusually short duration of time it will take unlike the previous Swearing In ceremonies that took better part of the days.

“We are looking at roughly one hour. The event should be done by 11:00 am. It is purely a Judiciary function and the Judiciary have a way of doing their things,” the PS noted in the interview.
This comes after the state burnt the midnight oil since the gazzettement was done on Thursday night and all through into the early hours of Friday morning, with videos showing officers and other preparations being made at the KICC.
When giving details about the swearing-in ceremony, the PS stated that Prof Kithure Kindiki’s arrival at the venue will kick start the event into full swing. Reports indicate Kindiki will walk to KICC from his Jogoo House office
Kindiki’s arrival will be closely followed by President William Ruto’s arrival and that will mark the start of the event that will be presided over by the Chief Justice and the Registrar to the Judiciary.
“The DP designate will arrive and then we expect the arrival of His Excellency the President to the venue and then the program formally begins. As I mentioned yesterday, this is a Judiciary function and the CJ together with the Registrar of the Judiciary will preside over the event. It will be a very short program.”
