The daughter of Kenya Ports Authority (Kenya Ports Authority) boss Captain William Ruto will be buried on Friday, April 10, at their Kabarak home in Nakuru County, the family has announced.
Mitchell Jelimo Kemboi tragically died in a car crash last Friday in Taveta Constituency, Taita Taveta County.
They were travelling as a family to the Serengeti National Park for the Easter holiday when their vehicle collided with a stationary trailer that had broken down on the road but had no warning signs placed.
Jelimo died on the spot, while the rest of the family members were injured and taken to hospital. They have since been discharged.
There were five people in the car at the time of the accident.
According to the funeral programme released by the family, a fundraiser to support funeral expenses will be held at Mochongoi in Baringo South Constituency on Tuesday, April 7, starting at 2 pm.
On Wednesday, the body of Jelimo will be removed from the Mombasa hospital mortuary and transported to Nakuru County.
A funeral service will then be held at Mochongoi on Thursday starting from 10 am.
Burial will take place at Captain Ruto’s home in Kabarak on Friday.
The family expressed their gratitude for the support they have received during this difficult time.
“Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. May God grant them comfort and strength. Rest well, Mitchell. Sleep in eternal peace,” KPA said in a statement.
