On Wednesday, the National State Funeral Steering Committee chairman Fred Matiang’i asked members of the public wishing to attend the memorial service to be seated by 8 am.
He said this is to allow those who will have traveled from outside the city to leave early after the event.
"We will conduct the mass until about one o'clock of there about," Matiang'i said.
The late president’s body is expected to arrive at the stadium at around 10 am from State House where it will be taken first from Lee Funeral Home.
From State House, the State Funeral Procession will make its way to Nyayo Stadium, the venue of the National State Funeral.
“The government encourages all Kenyans to participate in the State ceremonies and to also take time to honour the memory and legacy of the third President by reflecting on ways in which each one of us can foster the wellness of our nation by creating a more peaceful, loving, and united Kenya,” Matiang’i said in a media brief last Saturday.
