The family of the late Kitui West MP Francis Nyenze has organised a fundraiser.
The fundraiser is expected to be held on Wednesday in Nairobi as part of efforts to assist with preparations ahead of his burial slated for next Tuesday.
Kitui Senator Enoch Wambua who is the Nyenze Family spokesman said the date had been agreed on after a meeting of the family and the organising committee.
The event will be held at the Tin-Tin Restaurant.
Wambua said that the fundraiser has been necessitated by the huge turnout they expect at the burial of the former Minority Leader in the Eleventh Parliament.
Nyenze who served as a Cabinet Minister in former President Daniel arap Moi’s regime will be laid to rest at his home in Kyondoni Village, Kitui West Sub-County.
In Moi’s cabinet, he headed the dockets of Environment and Natural Resources in 1997 and Sports in 2001.
