Security beefed ahead of Ruto's ACK Nyahururu Diocese visit

Security has been tightened at the Anglican Church of Kenya Diocese of Nyahururu in preparation for the visit of President William Ruto and his deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, who are expected to attend Sunday service.

They will also participate in the Consecration and Enthronement of Rev. Maj. Samson Mburu Gachathi as the 3rd Bishop of ACK Nyahururu Diocese.

A video from the Star shows a significant police presence at the church and throughout Nyahururu, with various roadblocks set up around the area.

Such heightened security measures are typical when the President visits locations for official functions.

However, on Saturday, some Kenyans trended hashtags like "Occupy the Church" and "Occupy Nyahururu" on social media.

Organizers of the anti-Finance Bill protests have stated in their program that politicians who voted 'Yes' for the Bill should not be allowed to speak in churches on Sunday.

Their seven-day plan includes:

• Monday, June 24: Visiting MPs who voted 'Yes' at their constituency offices to express disapproval and start collecting signatures to recall them.
• Tuesday, June 25: A national strike and the second round of Occupy Parliament protests, urging all hardworking Kenyans to take a day off and parents to keep their children at home in solidarity.
• Wednesday: Visiting IPOA offices and the IG of Police to demand justice for Kanyeki.
• Thursday: Another round of demonstrations, marching to State House to show dissent on the day the President is expected to assent to the Bill.

Activist Boniface Mwangi has been vocal about the planned protests, emphasizing the need for continued action against the Finance Bill.
