The guest list is out and finally, the much-anticipated Kikuyu traditional wedding between President Uhuru Kenyatta’s son Jomo Kenyatta and his girlfriend of many days, Achola Fiona Ngobi, is set for this weekend.
According to a source, late last week the First Family sent out invitations to close family friends, prominent personalities and friends as final plans were made for the love birds’ big event that will take place in Gatundu.
It will be an invitation-only affair and all guests have been urged to carry their cards to the ceremony.
This comes hardly a month after the two families held another traditional wedding that was kept under wraps and whose attention got the press a day after it had taken place.
The traditional ceremony was held at Fiona’s parents’ Miotioni home in Nairobi’s Karen estate on October 22.

Fiona is the granddaughter of the late political giant, William Odongo Omamo. Dr Omamo, the father of Defence Cabinet Secretary Raychelle Omamo, who was nicknamed Kaliech (elephant) and ‘kuri kuri’ (come to me), died in 2010 aged 82.
Fiona, an accountant with a local bank, holds two master’s degrees and has Ugandan roots.
According to details on the invitation card, the ceremony will take place at 1pm on Saturday.
