ODM leader Raila Odinga his Wiper counterpart Kalonzo
Musyoka and ANC chief Musalia Mudavadi are part for the leaders in attendance
of Dr. Chris Kirubi’s funeral service.
The business mogul died on Monday aged 81 will be laid to
rest tomorrow at his farm in Thika.
Other leaders present at the funeral service are Cabinet
Secretaries Najib Balala, Amina Mohamed.
Also present is Jubilee Vice – Chairman David Murathe, former Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth and Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula.
During the ongoing requiem mass, friends, colleagues, dignitaries eulogised the late businessman as a caring and concerned leader who cared for the needs of those around him.
On Monday morning, Kirubi tweeted an encouraging message to his followers and Kenyans at large as they began the week.
In his message, nobody thought the businessman was writing
his last since it was full of enthusiasm.
The billionaire businessman spoke of determination and urged
his followers to embrace positivism as they face the week.
“Top of the morning to you, my dear friend. It doesn’t have
to be a tiring Monday. Instead, I bring to you good tidings of favour, success,
achievements and happiness in the new week. Give yourself a go towards your
success plan. Enjoy today and the rest of your week,” he tweeted.
But as a majority of them thronged to the comment section to
react to the tweet, it was not known to them that Kirubi was fighting for his
life at his home.
Hours later, after he was announced dead, many went back to
the post to mourn him as they prayed for the repose of his soul.
