Governor Ochilo Ayacko had plenty to celebrate on Friday, November 13 as he walked his firstborn daughter down the aisle at a stunning church wedding in Kiambu county.
Olivia Awuor Ochillo exchanged vows with her husband, Lerroy Jakarungu, in a ceremony held at Fuchsia Gardens in Riara, with the Nairobi Central Seventh-day Adventist Church officiating the occasion.
The governor later shared his joy publicly, writing that witnessing his daughter begin a new chapter filled both him and his wife, Agnes Ayacko, with “immense joy and gratitude.”
The wedding drew a notable crowd from Kenya’s political circles. Among those in attendance were Kericho county governor Erick Mutai, former Kisii senator Sam Ongeri, Suba North MP Millie Mabona, and Nyatike MP Tom Odege.
Several first ladies, members of county assemblies, senior government officials, religious leaders including bishops, and other distinguished guests rounded out the celebration.
Photos from the event show Ayacko dressed in a grey suit, light purple shirt, patterned silver tie and dark sunglasses, holding a black cane as he walked beside his daughter.
Olivia wore a white lace wedding gown with a long sheer veil, carrying a bouquet of white calla lilies, cream roses and trailing green amaranthus.
Ayacko complemented the occasion in a purple sequined dress with sheer sleeves, a wide purple sash and a grey fascinator-style hat.
In an emotional public message, Ayacko offered his blessing to the couple, saying:
“To Olivia and Leroy, may God be the foundation of your union. May your home be filled with enduring love, mutual respect, patience, understanding and abundant blessings.”
The groom, Lerroy, was dressed in a sharp white tuxedo jacket with black trousers, a black bow tie and a gold boutonnière, beaming as he held his new wife’s hand.
The governor concluded his tribute with a reflection on parenthood: “As parents, there is no greater joy than seeing our children grow, find love and establish families of their own. Today, our hearts are full.”
