Govt launches probe into the deaths of nine street children buried at Lang’ata cemetery last week, Gender CS Hannah Cheptumo says identities and cause of deaths unconfirmed.
The family had been travelling together after spending the holiday period with extended relatives when their journey ended abruptly along the Nairobi–Nakuru highway near Karai centre.
The famed Tiriki torch is believed to be a conduit through which the deceased can seek truth and justice from the spirit world if their death was unnatural.
Former President Uhuru Kenyatta and Kanu Chairman Gideon Moi are among leaders attending the burial of veteran politician and former Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo at his Lumakanda home.
Among those in attendance were political heavyweights across the spectrum, including Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and leaders from both government and opposition ranks.
Ida Odinga then warned that anyone not related to the deceased should either quiet down or leave.
