Former President Uhuru Kenyatta and Mama Ngina on Saturday attended the consecration of St John the Baptist Chapel in Ichaweri, Kiambu County
Former President Uhuru Kenyatta and Mama Ngina on Saturday attended the consecration of St John the Baptist Chapel in Ichaweri, Kiambu County.
According to a communique sent to by Uhuru’s office, the cathedral was built in honour of Kenya’s founding father, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta.
The Chapel was built by former First Lady Mama Ngina Kenyatta.
It was built on the foundations of the Ichaweri Chapel which was put up by the late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta in 1971.
“His desire was to have a church within the community where people could gather together and worship.
Mama Ngina said she made the decision together with her family to put up the church in honour of the love that the founding father had for God and the people.
“He had just come from detention in Maralal, Samburu County,” Mama Ngina stated that the cathedral was built in commemoration of Jomo’s adoration for God and Kenyan citizens.

The Most Reverend Philip A. Anyolo, the Metropolitan Archbishop of Nairobi, alongside other members of the clergy, concentrated the St. John the Baptist Chapel, the 9th Church in the Arch-angel Mutomo Parish.
“The picturesque building is a site to behold, depicting an antique cathedral, with finesse wood finishings, and stained glass windows illustrating service to God and humanity.
“A virtue Archbishop Anyolo emphasized in his sermon,” Uhuru’s office explained.
The former President was brief in his speech and only appreciated his mother and other stakeholders for honouring his father.
“He especially thanked H.E. Mama Ngina Kenyatta for her determination, confidence, and dedication in ensuring that the chapel was built to its completion. The consecration mass was attended by members of the Kenyatta family, friends, and members of the community,” the communique added.
