NYERI: Confusion rocked a Government team inspecting ongoing projects ahead of the beatification of Sister Irene "Nyaatha" Stefani in Nyeri on Wednesday after it was discovered that a trench had been dug at a site reserved for the main dais.

The team, led by Joseph Irungu, the secretary for internal security at the Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government was shocked to find graders and earth movers on a mission to construct roads had already dug a trench about 20 metres from the area reserved for the dais.
