Immediately the body was moved to the mortuary, politicians, and members of the public thronged Lee Funeral home to view the body.

For now, the process has been stopped as the family has retreated to his Kabarnet residence in Nairobi where mourners are thronging to convey messages of condolences.

Sources say, the ban is to allow doctors to embalm his body and at the same time avoid commotion.

Family insiders say, they are consulting each other to see is a postmortem is necessary with majority opposed to it as his death was as a result of age.
