An advance security team from the Vatican has inspected sites that Pope Francis will visit during his three-day tour of Kenya.

And a fortnight to the pontiff's arrival in Nairobi, the first stop of his first African tour, preparations have peaked at the St Joseph's The Worker Catholic Parish in Kangemi, one of the areas earmarked for the papal visit.
