President Uhuru Kenyatta has announced that the State will take over the burial plans for fallen constitutional lawyer Nzamba Kitonga.
The Head of State has intimated that a commitee is set up to work closely with the family in order to accord him a beffitting send off.
Kitonga died of Cardiac arrest aged 64. He reportedly collapsed while attending a funeral at his home area of Mutito in Kitui East Constituency and died while being rushed to hospital.
His wife is said to have driven him from Mutito, about 75 kilometres from Kitui Town, and decided to proceed to Nairobi when air rescue help wasn’t forthcoming.
Kitonga’s condition deteriorated upon reaching Machakos Town and was pronounced dead at Shalom Hospital.
Earlier in the week, the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) launched a fund drive for the late Kitonga with intentions of raising funds to give him a beffiting send off
“The Law Society of Kenya wishes to give our colleague a formal sendoff in a hearing and/or church service to be held in Nairobi as well as a burial in Kitui on a date to be communicated in due course, ” the memo dated October 26 reads.
