Congregants attending a church service at the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) Diocese of Nyahururu were on Sunday subjected to mandatory security screening by the police.
President William Ruto and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua are present at the Diocese.
A video seen by the Star shows congregants lined up at security checkpoints mounted by the police.
