Among the cabinet secretaries was Nairobi Governor Ann Kananu. After the session the trophy was taken to state house where the president awaited it.
President Uhuru and the FIFA champions are the only individuals allowed to touch the trophy. The trophy is then to be stored under tight security since it contains a great percentage of gold.
