Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka is leading the Azimio delegation that is attending the burial of Mau Mau veteran, Field Marshal Muthoni Kirima.
Kalonzo is in Nyeri accompanied by former Defence CS Eugene Wamalwa and former Murang'a governor Mwangi wa Iria, among others.
Wamalwa, in a statement on Friday, said that even as they lay Kirima to rest, her legend will continue living in Kenyans.
"In Nyeri County with H.E Kalonzo Musyoka and Mwangi wa Iria burying Mau Mau female Field Marshal, Muthoni Kirima whose legend will live on as Kenyans continue to be warmed by the fires of freedom that she lit quench their thirst for democracy from Wells of independence she dug for," he said in a tweet ahead of the burial.
Muthoni, who served as the late freedom fighter Dedan Kimathi's personal assistant in the struggle for liberation, passed on September 5 aged 92.
She was pronounced dead at a hospital in Pangani where she was rushed moments after developing health complications.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is among the top leaders attending the funeral.
Field Marshal Muthoni wa Kirima will today be laid to rest at her Tetu home in Nyeri.
