Additionally, Uhuru also highlighted the role of family in fostering unity and societal harmony.
"Today’s celebration reminds us of the importance of togetherness and the values that bind us as a community," he added.
The star-studded event drew prominent figures, including former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka, veteran politician Sam Ongeri, and Nyamira Governor Amos Nyaribo.
Others who attended the wedding are former ICT Cabinet Secretary Joe Mucheru and former Interior Permanent Secretary Dr. Karanja Kibicho.
Matiang'i served as a key figure in Uhuru's administration, holding multiple cabinet positions during Kenyatta's tenure from 2013 to 2022.
Initially appointed as Cabinet Secretary for Information, Communications, and Technology in 2013, Matiang'i was later assigned to the Education Ministry in 2015, where he implemented significant reforms.
In 2017, following the death of Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Ole Nkaissery, Kenyatta appointed Matiang'i as the acting Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government.
He officially took over the position in 2018 and was also appointed chairperson of the National Development Implementation and Communication Cabinet Committee in 2019, overseeing government projects and programs.
Matiang'i was often regarded as one of Uhuru's most trusted and influential ministers, earning the nickname "super CS" due to his expanded responsibilities and authority within the government.
