His elevation comes after the High Court lifted conservatory orders barring him from assuming the office of the deputy president following the impeachment of Rigathi Gachagua from the National Assembly and the Senate.
Senior Government officials as well as Chairpersons and Heads of State Corporations are expected to attend the event.
On Thursday, a gazette notice announced today (Friday) as a Public Holiday to allow Kindiki’s assumption of office after the court ruling.
