Flags to fly at half mast as Kenya readies for Lucy Kibaki’s State funeral

Following the demise of Lucy Kibaki, the government formed a national working committee made up former President Mwai Kibaki’s family and government officials.

The committee will be in charge of the burial arrangements and the programme that will be followed prior to and during the burial.

At such funerals, the casket draped in a Kenyan flag is usually placed on a stately prepared carriage usually lifted by a military platoon that observe high standards of the military discipline.

State funerals at the same time allow religious overtones of songs, homily and prayers.

Being Catholics, Lucy Kibaki’s burial will be done according to the Catholic doctrine.

On Friday, the burial committee was still working on the programme ahead of the arrival of her body on Sunday at 5.30am.

It will announce the date and place of burial in the coming days.
