Winston Macharia will captain the side from the second row alongside John Aswani in the starting pack.
Nic Okullo and Wilhite Mususi complete the front row while Randy Wamah, Churchill Otieno and Sheldon Kahi make up the rest of the forwards.
Emmanuel Opondo starts at scrum-half with vice-captain Brian Wahinya at fly-half.
The backline features William Opaka, Bob Muhati, Eugene Omondi, Mike Wekesa and Isaac Njoroge.
Among the replacements are new signings Samson Mapesa from Kisii, Collins Ngoko from MMUST, Innocent Murunda from Kisumu and Benson Kihiti from Kenya Prisons.
