The funeral planning committee for the late Kasipul MP, Charles Were, will brief the country on the funeral arrangements at 11 am.
The committee, chaired by Homa Bay Town MP Peter Kaluma will brief the country from his Residence in Karen, Kerarapon.
The late MP was shot dead on Wednesday evening by two gunmen on a motorbike along Ngong Road near City Mortuary.
The National Police Service said the fatal shooting appears to have been both “targeted and predetermined,” raising alarm over the motive behind the brazen attack on a sitting legislator.
In a statement released by police spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga, the NPS confirmed that the MP was shot dead on Wednesday evening along Ngong Road near the City Mortuary roundabout by a gunman.
Muchiri said reports confirmed by the Nairobi Regional Police Commander were that, at around 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, a white Toyota Crown vehicle came to a stop at a red traffic light on Ngong Road, near the City Mortuary roundabout.
