On Friday, a funeral service will be held at the Bomet Green Stadium.
The body will then be moved to its final resting place in Koru according to Luo tradition.
The family is said to have arrived at the decision to have the late governor buried in Koru given that she was officially married and not Bomet her birthplace and county.
Energy Cabinet Secretary Charles Keter, Narok Governor Samwel Tunai and Cabinet Administrative Secretary for Petroleum John Mosonik are leading the committee organizing for the burial of the late governor.
Meanwhile, her deputy Dr Hillary Barchock will be sworn as Bomet governor after the burial.

Ken Okoth passed on at the age of 41 years.
The committee will be chaired by Minority Leader John Mbadi.
