We also extend our appreciation to the organizing committees both in Nakuru and Nairobi who worked tirelessly and with total dedication to mobilize resources to accord John a befitting send-off.

We also wish to express our sincere gratitude to the Kenya. Defence Forces fraternity and their families, Hon. Samuel Arama, Engineer Peter Kimori, Dr Ken Omoke and James Michoma who stood with the family throughout the trying period.
