Speaking to the
press immediately after their arrival from Rome, where they had gone as the
team of the organizing committee for the final logistical preparation Fr
Januarius Kioko, the coordinator of liturgy at the Kenya Conference of Catholic

However,
according to David Omwoyo, the Holy Father has expressed confidence in the
organizing team. He plans to visit even without having to send a lot of
logistical support ahead of him. That shows the kind of trust he has in Kenya.
