President Uhuru Kenyatta on Wednesday announced that the number of people attending funerals and weddings has been reviewed upwards from 15 to 100. While addressing the nation from State House, Nairobi, the Head of State announced that the new figure was arrived at following consultations with the Interfaith Council.

For the past couple of months, the number of wedding attendees was limited to 15 to ensure proper social distancing to keep the Coronavirus at bay. Although couples will be allowed to invite 100 people from now henceforth, the President warned that there should be strict adherence to the set guidelines.
