"President William Ruto has opened Sagana State Lodge up for everyone, hustlers included, to join him in thanking God for His goodness," said Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
At the invitation, the locals started streaming in on Sunday morning.
They were captured lining up for food ahead of the bill interdenominational service.
Sagana State Lodge was known to be Uhuru Kenyatta's preferred venue for meetings with Mt Kenya leaders.
The former president held series of meetings there in the last phase of his two ten-year tenure.
It was at the Sagana State Lodge that he declared support for ODM leader Raila Odinga in the 2022 General Election.
