Kenya’s football darling Kevin Opiyo Oliech's body is set to touch down on Kenyan soil tonight at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport aboard a KLM flight.

His body is accompanied by his older brothers Ken and Dennis Oliech as well as his BFF Dave Etale.

His body will be flown in from Germany and is set to arrive on September 3, 2020 at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

His BFF Dave Etale posted an Instastory announcing that they are homebound.

Sonko has spoken out on the burial arrangements of the late football star.

“I condoled with the family of the late footballer Kevin Opiyo Oliech who succumbed to cancer last month while undergoing treatment in Germany. I have known Kevin for many years through his brother, Dennis Oliech who is a member of the Nairobi City County Sports Board."

Adding,

"The late Kevin who played for Nairobi City Stars, Mathare United and other teams was a prolific footballer just like his brothers, Dennis Oliech, Andrew Oyombe and the late Steve Okumu."

Sonko promised in a series of tweets, "I will cater for some of the funeral expenses in order to ensure we give Kevin a befitting send-off at their rural home in Seme, Kisumu County. May his soul rest in peace."

Based on the schedule of Kevin’s last journey home, once he arrives, his body will be preserved at Umash while in Nairobi. This is the same place his late mother, Mary Auma, was also kept before her burial back in July 2018.

Then on September 4, 2020, Kevin’s body leaves for the final burial rites to Seme, Kisumu County.

The following day, Kevin will be laid to rest at their family home in Seme Ratta.
