The Sonko Rescue Team will transport by road the deceased mother and baby who perished at the Likoni Ferry crossing channel.
This is after Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko offered to have his rescue team allowed to carry the bodies and participate in burial arrangements.
According to a press release sent to media houses the bodies of Mariam Kighenda and her four-year-old daughter Amanda Mutheu, will leave the Jocham Hospital Mortuary in Mombasa on Friday night and expected to arrive in Makueni on Saturday morning hours.
“We have agreed with those in charge of the burial arrangements to transport the bodies and play any other possible role in the burial arrangements,” Sonko said.
The two, who drowned several days ago after their vehicle plunged into Indian Ocean, died of suffocation according to postmortem results.
"The vehicle carrying the remains will be accompanied by a free mobile clinic van," the Nairobi governor added.
Sonko however, called on Kenyans to strictly adhere to rules and regulations for ferry users and that the Kenya Ferry Services to match their safety regulations with those practised at the International level.
He has advised KFS to consistently run civic education digital messages about ferry services.
John Wambua, the husband to the late Kighenda, said that that was a good gesture not only to him but to the whole society.
"Sonko has not only helped me but the whole society. We are very appreciative and only God will reward him," he said.
