Businessman chairman Chris Kirubi was on Saturday buried at his Bendor Farm in Murang'a County.
This was after a funeral service attended by family members and close friends.
Kirubi, 80, died on Monday June 14, 2021 at his home after a long battle with cancer.
"It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Christopher J. Kirubi who passed away today at 1 pm at his home after a long battle with cancer fought with fortitude, grace and courage. He was surrounded by his family," his family said in a statement.
He left behind two children.
President Uhuru Kenyatta mourned Kirubi as a seasoned businessman, entrepreneur and industrialist who founded and successfully ran some of Kenya's largest corporations.
"The cruel hand of death has robbed our nation of a patriot whose entrepreneurial spirit, hard work and determination saw him create some of our country's largest enterprises which offer employment to thousands of our people," Uhuru said.
