Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Businessman Chris Kirubi was laid to rest at his Bendor Estate in Thika on June 19 in a ceremony attended by family and close friends<\/p>\n

Kirubi died on Monday, June 14 after a long battle with cancer.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the burial ceremony, Kirubi\u2019s daughter, Mary-Ann, described her father as a tenacious man who brutally fought cancer towards the very end.<\/p>\n

She also promised to do her best to continue her father\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n

\u201c I promise to do my best, and when I am stuck, I will seek those in this gathering who have come to honour you and support me. Your legacy will never be forgotten,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n

Reverend Teresia Wairimu of the Faith Evangelistic Ministry Church in Karen, revealed that she read to Kirubi his favourite Bible chapter, Psalms 23, shortly before his death at 1 am on Monday, June 14.<\/p>\n

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.<\/b><\/p>\n

He makes me lie down in green pastures.<\/b><\/p>\n

He leads me beside quiet waters.<\/b><\/p>\n

He refreshes my soul.<\/b><\/p>\n

He guides me along the right paths for his name\u2019s sake.<\/b><\/p>\n

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil,<\/b><\/p>\n

Reverend Teresia read. She further acknowledged Kirubi as a nation shaker and history maker. The deacon stated that the businessman was never afraid of asking for prayer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember early in the morning, he was going for surgery and he was going to be taken [Sic]. He said, I’ve got to call my pastor we pray before you take me anywhere,\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n

Bishop Allan Kiuna of Jubilee Christian Church eulogized Kirubi as a friend and a humble man, who was at a better place with God.<\/p>\n

The service ended at 2:30 pm, and Kirubi was immediately interred, with a lunch scheduled thereafter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
