His remains have since been moved to the Umash Funeral Home.
Nakuru County Assembly was closed on November 2 after cases of Covid-19 were confirmed.
The premises will remain closed for 14 days.
Governor Lee Kinyanjui has asked residents to exercise caution as local cases surge.
“The spread of the disease remains a key challenge to the rural elderly and more so, those with underlying conditions of diabetes and hypertension. It is therefore prudent that we undertake all necessary measures to insulate this vulnerable group from the risk of infections,” said the Governor.
