The daughter of KPA boss Captain William Ruto will be buried on Friday, April 10, at their Kabarak home in Nakuru county, the family has announced.
Mitchell Jelimo Kemboi tragically died in a car crash last Friday in Taveta constituency, Taita Taveta county.
They were travelling as a family to the Serengeti National Park for the Easter holiday when their family car hit a stationary trailer that had broken down on the road, but had not put up any signage.
Jelimo died on the spot while the rest of the family was hospitalised.
There were five in the car at the time of the accident. The hospitalised family members have since been discharged.
According to the funeral programme released by the family, there will be a fundraiser to support funeral expenses at Mochongoi in Baringo South constituency, Baringo county, on Tuesday, April 7, starting from 2 pm.
On Wednesday, the body of Jelimo will be removed from the Mombasa hospital mortuary and transported to Nakuru county.
A funeral service will then be held at Mochongoi on Thursday, starting from 10 am.
Burial will then take place at Captain Ruto’s home in Kabarak on Friday.
“Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family and all friends during this difficult time. May God grant them comfort and strength.
“Rest well, Mitchell. Sleep in eternal peace,” KPA posted in a statement.
