Kiambaa Member of Parliament Paul Koinange’s final send-off shall be on Saturday April 3, 2021.
A statement from his family said that the funeral service shall be held at the Saint John’s Church, Kiambaa, Kiambu County starting from 11 am.
Following the government’s directives, the family says that the number of attendees shall be limited.
“We would like to give the late Hon Paul Koinange a befitting send-off but because of the government’s recent instructions insisting that health protocols must be observed and strictly adhered to we have to abide by those protocols,” read their statement.
A maximum of 50 people only shall be allowed at the service, with the family declaring that the burial service afterwards shall be limited to family members only.
They however said that online broadcsating shall be available for the majority that will not physically attend.
“For those wanting to follow the proceedings online, we will provide a Live-Link from beginning to end on all platforms in order to give those not able to attend a chance to give the late Hon Paul Koinange as befitting a send-off as possible under the circumstances.”
The late Koinange died of COVID-19 related complications at the Nairobi Hospital.
Until his demise, he had been serving as the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security at the National Assembly.
