There was not a dry eye in sight as Francis Nyenze’s daughter Grace eulogized her late father.
Grace said “He was the best father I could have ever asked for and always protected me…He always listened to me and always encouraged my dreams. I will miss the trips we took together as a family while listening to the stories he used to give us .”
Grace later performed a song which was a tribute to her late father.
The former Kitui West lawmaker's burial is underway at his farm in Kyondoni Village, Kitui County.
NASA co-principals Raila Odinga and Moses Wetangula are among those who were in attendance to bid farewell to the former cabinet minister.
However, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka could not make it to the burial after failing to jet back in the country on Tuesday morning.
Nyenze passed on at Nairobi Hospital in Nairobi on December 8, after succumbing to colon cancer.
