Deputy President William Ruto’s aide Anthony Kariuki's memorial service will be held today, Thursday in Nairobi.
The memorial service will be held at the PCEA St. Andrews Church along the University Way.
Mr Kariuki also worked at Nation Media Group as their online editor.
His family members, former workmates at the NMG and DP Ruto's office will attend his memorial mass.
They held a fundraiser on Wednesday at All Saints Cathedral Church for the funeral arrangements of the deceased.
Mr Kariuki was involved in an accident last Friday on Outering Road.
According to Head of the Deputy President’s Press Service (DPPS) David Mugonyi, Mr Kariuki got hit by a vehicle while crossing the road.
“He was crossing the road on his way home when he was knocked by the tour van. He died before he could reach the hospital for emergency medical attention,” he said, as quoted by Daily Nation.
DP Ruto sent his condolence message after the death of Mr Kariuki.
"My heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the family, colleagues and friends of my staff member Anthony Kariuki. Kariuki was sharp, dependable, industrious, committed and creative with a positive attitude,” he said.
Kariuki has left behind a wife, Christine Wakio Kariuki and two children.
