The late Sister Ann Ali. [Peter Ochieng]

"For the case of Sister Ann, as the Bishop, I can confirm that a woman got healed after praying at her gravesite. I met the woman while using crutches in the evening, the following day I saw her walking without them. She claimed she got healed from the blessed woman, do you still need any testimonies?" Kimengich said.

Sister Ann's sister, Miriam Wamai, said they have been receiving different people from within and outside the country claiming to have witnessed miracles from her.

"As a family, we're praying for the church to complete their work spiritually, and we believe God willing she will be granted blessed power meant for a real servant of God," she said.

At Burnt Forest, Christians from all walks gathered at St Patrick's Catholic Church from Wednesday, singing and dancing in honour of Sister Ann's services in the church.

The clergy, accompanied by hundreds of worshippers, marched from the church to the Burnt Forest trading centre, where they blessed the streets where Sister Ann used to pass.

After the blessings, the procession then took its way back to the gravesite few metres from the church building for final prayers.
