The family confirmed the passing of Mzee Edwin Koech, noting that the elderly patriarch died at the age of 93, leaving behind a legacy that has drawn condolences from leaders, relatives, and members of the public across the country.
In the days following the announcement, the CS’s rural home in Kipketii Village, Kipsonoi Ward, Sotik Constituency, has become a centre of mourning as visitors arrive to comfort the grieving family and pay their respects.
The compound, located in Bomet County, sits on a vast piece of land surrounded by greenery and tall trees that provide privacy and a serene rural environment, reflecting both comfort and modern rural living standards.
A well-paved cabro driveway leads from the main gate to a three-storey white mansion, with neatly manicured lawns stretching across the compound, showcasing careful landscaping and maintenance that has caught the attention of visitors.
The mansion’s exterior design reflects elegance, featuring spacious structures and a clean architectural finish that blends modern design with rural aesthetics, making it a notable landmark within the area.
Inside the home, elegant furnishings, warm lighting, family portraits, and carefully chosen paintings create a refined interior that visitors have described as both welcoming and thoughtfully designed.
CS Chirchir also shared a heartfelt tribute on social media mourning his father, highlighting the family’s deep loss while receiving messages of support from Kenyans and political leaders.
The gatherings at the rural home have not only offered a space for condolence but also given the public a rare glimpse into the CS’s expansive residence, now a focal point of national attention during the mourning period.
