Chris Kirubi’s Burial Set for Saturday in Thika

Businessman Chris Kirubi will be buried on Saturday, June 19 at his Thika Farm in Kiambu County.

A funeral service is scheduled for Friday at the Faith Evangelistic Ministry Church in Karen, Nairobi. The service will start at 11am.

Capital reports the billionaire will be laid to rest in a function attended by family, friends and invited guests.

Kirubi, 80, died on Monday June 14, 2021 at his home after a long battle with cancer.

“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Christopher J. Kirubi who passed away today at 1 pm at his home after a long battle with cancer fought with fortitude, grace and courage. He was surrounded by his family,” his family said in a statement.

Kirubi was diagnosed with cancer in 2017. He said in past media interviews that he accidentally discovered he had cancer.

At the time, he said the cancer was detected early, hence ease of management.

His death moved the whole country with leaders from every sector eulogising him as an “industrialist” who contributed immensely to the growth of Kenya’s economy.
