At least 5,000 people are expected to attend celebrations honouring the life of the late Cabinet minister Ronald Ngala, with a focus on forging long-sought unity among the Mijikenda community ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The event, organised by the Umwenga Wehu Welfare Association, will be held on December 26 at Ngala's Vishakani homestead in Kaloleni, Kilifi County. Organisers say the meeting will provide direction on shared social, governance and development challenges facing the community.
