Preparations are on his gear at departed Bomet governor Joyce Laboso's home in Kandege, Koru, Muhoroni constituency in Kisumu county.
On Tuesday, some 20 young men could be seen busy at work, renovating the main house and the pavements ahead of the high profile burial.
The ongoing preparations, they said, would also involve the include the gravelling of an all-weather road to facilitate transport the home located 10 kilometres from Koru Town.
Villagers were kept off though they milled around the fences to see what was going on, while high-end vehicles could be seen driving in and out of the compound.
A man who claimed to have been working for the family and pruning their coffee farm said that there initially were fears that Laboso would be hurried in her Sotik home in Bomet.
“When word started going round that she (Laboso) may be buried in Bomet, we were worried because we have always known this as her home,” said the villager.
The home manager, one Mr Kosgei, said that the media is not and will not be allowed anywhere near the home, as there is a separate committee which will deal with them.
"There is one funeral committee in Nairobi which handles issues of the media, so you are not allowed in here,” he said.
Laboso succumbed to cancer at the Nairobi Hospital on Monday and has been succeeded by a widower and three sons.
This will be the second high profile burial in that area following that of former Foreign Affairs minister Robert Ouko who was buried at his Koru complex home in 1990.
