Interior CS Fred Matiang'i has been installed as a member of the Nyakach clan.
Matiang'i was installed by elders on Thursday.
“The ceremony will begin with you seated on a three-legged seat so that your leadership lasts for years and years,” an elder was heard saying.
As Luo songs were sang in the background, Matiang'i, who had sat on the three-legged stool, stood up and received a fly whisk.
As he stood up, the songs continued with intensity.
The Interior minister was then given cow skin that was put on him.
He was also given a cap and a shield as the songs continued.
"Son of Nyakach, a great honour bestowed on me by the elders of Nyakach today during the operationalisation of the newly formed Central Nyakach division in Kisumu," Matiang'i tweeted.
Matiang’i has openly declared support fore ODM party leader Raila Odinga, saying the majority of Kenyans are with the president and Raila.
“I will do everything the President tells me faithfully with absolute loyalty and focus to serve my country,” the CS said.
“Since the handshake, I have sat down with Raila and we have had discussions.”
The CS said President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila still enjoy massive support across the country.
