“Those participating will include representatives of the Mwana a'Nzeki family from Mwala area in Machakos County, Kenya Catholic Conference of Bishops, Diocese of Machakos, Diocese of Nakuru and the Archdiocese of Nairobi,” the press statement said.
The limitation of burials and funeral ceremonies to 15 people was introduced by Health CS Mutahi Kagwe with the intention of implementing social distancing during the Covid19 crisis which has so far seen 81 confirmed cases in the country.
On Wednesday, Kagwe said there was hope in the fight against the virus after the country confirmed three recoveries out of the 81 who have so far been infected.
