Rigathi Gachagua, Deputy President, attended the ordination and installation of Rt Rev Cleophas Oseso Tuka, the new Bishop of the Catholic Diocese, on Saturday.

Tuka takes over for Archbishop Maurice Muhatia, who has been reassigned to Kisumu.

The ceremony was held at Nakuru Boys High School.

According to Gachagua, "God anoints and dedicates leaders to guide His children."


The Eucharist is being celebrated by HE Most Rev Hubertus Maria Van Megen, the Apostolic Nuncio to Kenya and South Sudan.

Pope Francis nominated Tuka as Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Nakuru two months ago.
