At least 4,000 St John Ambulance volunteers will on Monday be feted by President William Ruto.
They will be hosted at State House for a special thanksgiving prayer and symbolic inspection parade.
The ceremony dubbed St John Annual Inspection Parade is held annually to commemorate St John's Day.
It brings together approximately 34,000 uniformed members of St John from across the country, along with senior volunteers, for a special prayer service and inspection parade.
This will be the 93rd ceremony to be held since St John Ambulance was established in Kenya back in the year 1923.
The event is graced by the sitting President at the time, who is automatically on assumption into the office and becomes the Chief Patron of St John Kenya.
"It serves as a platform to highlight our life-saving achievements, recognise exemplary service, and celebrate our mission of saving lives and serving humanity," St John said.
The volunteers will be recognized for their contribution to various lifesaving missions in their areas of operation.
They are drawn from primary schools, secondary schools, universities, and community-first responders under the St John volunteer programs.
President Ruto is expected to announce the integration of these community-first responders into the government’s community health volunteer programs to help boost the Country’s community healthcare needs from the household level.
Some of the volunteers to be recognized are as young as 10 years to long-serving members from Turkana, Samburu, Meru, and Nairobi’s informal settlement.
