Interior Principal Secretary Dr Karanja Kibicho has given an update on the preparations for the Mashujaa Day celebrations.
In a tweet on Monday, the PS revealed that the preparations for the commemoration of national heroes were in top gear.
Dr Kibicho said that members of the uniformed forces were rehearsing for the celebrations which will be held at the Mama Ngina Water Front Park in Mombasa County for the first time.
"Our uniformed forces have intensified rehearsals for this year's Mashujaa Day celebrations at the Mama Ngina Waterfront Park, Mombasa. This will be the first time in our history that the Kenya Navy will give the National Salute to the President, " the tweet read.
Unlike in the past where Mashujaa Day celebrations have been held in the capital, Nairobi, this year's commemoration will be staged at the Coast.
President Uhuru Kenyatta issued an Executive Order at the start of his second and final term to the effect that national celebrations be held across the country.
The move was seen as an attempt by the head of state to give Kenyans across the 47 counties a sense that the government belongs to them too.
Military displays are a staple of the national events with members of the armed forces staging parades.
