The burial arrangements were confirmed on Sunday by a funeral committee chaired by former MP Fred Gumo, which addressed the media following a consultative meeting.
Speaking on behalf of the committee, Senator Khaniri said the late Jirongo will be buried at his family homestead in Lumakanda, next to his parents.
“We have constituted a committee to coordinate the funeral arrangements for our brother,” Senator Khaniri said. “We have agreed, tentatively, that the burial will take place on December 30, and that he will be laid to rest at his Lumakanda home beside his father and mother.”
Jirongo died in a fatal road accident in the early hours of Saturday, December 13. Reports indicate that he was driving to his rural home in Lugari when his vehicle was involved in a head-on collision with a Climax Coach bus along the Nairobi–Nakuru Highway.
Naivasha DCIO Isaac Kiama confirmed the incident, stating that the former legislator died on the spot at around 3 a.m.
