SIAYA coronavirus fatality, brought to his home at mid night and tossed into the grave by the government officials tasked with the burial
The widow, who apparently never anticipated anything bear this type of burial is heard inquiring what’s been thrown into the grave
I watched on TV, the pilot who also died of COVID-19 being buried in broad daylight, in a coffin. I personally don’t have any problem with how dead bodies are disposed, but if it can be a little decent, the better, for the sake of the surviving kith and kin
Night burials in Western Kenya are for suicide victims and gain they are lowered with some little dignity and not just dropped into the grave
The mother’s question on what’s being dropped into the grave, “mano ang’o mowit e bur”, is one sad moment amount this epidemic, that reminds me of the young boy killed by a trigger happy police in Nairobi
He told his mother “mama, wameni shoot” (they’ve shot me), as he dropped on the ground. The mother thought the boy was joking
Great evening my fellow Southerners!!
