Murang'a County will on Monday host the country's top leadership, for the second time since July when they attended the burial of Peter Kenneth's mother.
President Uhuru Kenyatta, Raila Odinga and Deputy President William Ruto are expected to grace the burial of Nairobi's first African mayor and second liberation hero Charles Rubia.
Mr Rubia, who is well known for his contributions towards multi-party democracy, will be buried in Murang'a. His body will be ferried from Lee Funeral Home the same day.
According to Rubia’s son Maurice Rubia, the body will leave Lee Funeral Home in Nairobi at 9am and arrive at their home at 11am where Anglican Church of Kenya Murang’a South Bishop Julius Karanu will preside over the burial ceremony.
“The ceremony will take place at Kariugini Primary School, we expect the President, his deputy and Mr Odinga to grace the event,” Mr Rubia told the Nation on phone.
The three leaders eulogized Rubia as the father of democracy in the country when he died last week.
The President eulogised the former Minister as an icon of Kenya's vibrant multi-party democracy.
"The late paid a great price for his stand and was detained at the height of the struggle but he never wavered. I am proud to have known and worked with him. My condolences go out to his family at this difficult moment and may his soul rest in Eternal Peace," Odinga wrote.
