The Ministry of Gender, Culture, and Children Services has addressed a petition to move Jomo Kenyatta’s remains from Parliament Grounds to his Gatundu home, recommending a multi-phased approach due to legal and constitutional considerations.

• The petition, filed by John Mweha on July 26, argues the current location is not symbolically reserved for the legislative arm of government.
• CS Hannah Wendot stated the matter requires deeper scrutiny, including engagement with the Kenyatta family and additional cultural consultations.
• Kenyatta passed away on August 22, 1978, and his mausoleum has since been heavily guarded and closed to the public.
