During a press conference, Kaguchia stated that the residents will be able to “honor their fallen son.

He stated that the assembly will inform the national organizing committee in writing of their wishes to allow residents who will not be able to make it to his final resting place to bid him farewell.
He also stated that the Nyeri county assembly will hold a special session on Thursday to honor the late former president.
“On Thursday it will be a big day for we will hold a special sitting in honour of Kibaki. He is a son of Nyeri county, and we must honour him by all means. Later we will light candles in the evening to recognize his contribution to the welfare of our county ” said Kaguchia.
Furthermore, the speaker stated that the assembly is considering having a condolence book in the house to which all members of the public, including members of the public, will be able to contribute their condolences in writing.
