Upon his death, Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery was scheduled to attend to a fund drive at Ilbisil in his native Kajiado County.
Nkaissery 67, died on Friday night over undisclosed illness at Karen Hospital before his remains were transferred to Lee Funeral Home.
And Kajiado Central MP Elijah Memusi on Saturday said the slain politician was due to attend a fund drive hours before his untimely death.
“However much he was in government, we used to talk a lot. He had requested me to accompany him to Kajiado Central for a fund drive,” said a sorrowful Memusi.
“He is a humanitarian and was to help at least 500 children from humble background to pursue their education. It is quite sad that he didn’t manage,” he added.
In a coincidence, Nkaissery was to attend a fund drive similar to George Saitoti, another internal security Minister who perished on an air crash in 2012.
President Uhuru Kenyatta has since appointed Education SC Fred Matiang’i to serve in the docket on in an acting capacity.
