The body of businessman-cum-politician Gerishon Kirima is expected to be flown into the country on Monday from South Africa where he died while undergoing treatment.
The burial committee chairman Maina Wanjigi on Friday said his team was making arrangements to have the body flown into the country.
When contacted, a spokeswoman at the South African High Commission confirmed that arrangements were being made to fly the body into the country.
On his part, Mr Wanjigi, who is chairing a seven-man committee overseeing the funeral arrangements for the former assistant minister in his Kitisuru home, said daily prayer meetings will also take place at the All Saints Cathedral from Monday beginning from 6pm to 8pm.
Similar meetings will be taking place at his Kitisuru home at the same time.
“Another committee has also been formed in his rural home in Murang’a, central Kenya, where he will be buried,” Mr Wanjigi said.
The politician was thrust back into the limelight when his family was embroiled in a dramatic fight for access to and control of his vast property.
Mr Kirima had three wives, one died and another is separated. The children of his first two wives were involved in a dispute with Mrs Teresia Wairimu, whom Mr Kirima was living with in Kitisuru, Nairobi.
