Governor Wahome Gakuru burial underway

Dr Wahome Gakuru will be laid to rest at his Kirichu home in Nyeri.

Early Saturday morning, family and friends assembled at the Lee Funeral Home where they viewed the body.

The mass will be presided over by ministers from the Presbyterian Church of East Africa led by the moderator general, Rev Julius Mwamba.

Additional police officers from the neighbouring counties and the Kenya Police College are providing security during the funeral ceremony of the former governor.

More than 20 governors are expected to attend the burial. PHOTO | RAPHAEL NJOROGE | NATION MEDIA GROUP

The late governor will be accorded a state funeral but only close family members and selected dignitaries will be allowed to the burial site.

He died on November 7 at the Thika Level 5 Hospital where he had been taken for emergency treatment after his car was involved in crash at Kabati along the Thika-Sagana highway.

The governor was heading to Nairobi to attend a talk show accompanied by his bodyguard and driver when the vehicle he was travelling in veered off the road and hit a rail guard.

He had served as governor for only 79 day after his election on August 8.
