Only 11,000 invited guests will be allowed into the Uhuru Gardens during this year’s Jamhuri Day celebrations.
Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho said the main dais will only have 1,000 people during the December 12 event.
Speaking after assessing the venue, Kibicho, who is leading the national celebrations committee, said the stadium is almost ready for use.
"The invitations will be done through our usual system to ensure every Kenyan is represented, and for even participation of all the groups," he said.
