Ken Walibora, a celebrated author and veteran journalist, will be laid to rest at his Makutano home in Cherang’any Constituency today, April 22, 2020, with strict COVID-19 protocols in place.
Only 15 people will be allowed to attend the funeral, including close relatives, friends, and neighbors, as per the regulations by the Ministry of Health to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
Walibora's stepmother, Eunice Wafula, expressed her sadness over the limited attendance, saying,
"We have selected some close relatives, friends and neighbours to be part of the burial. It is sad that the coronavirus situation will lock out many from paying their last respect to Ken."
The investigation into Walibora's sudden and brutal death is ongoing, with the homicide unit at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations working to corroborate their findings with CCTV footage.
A detective involved in the investigation stated,
"We hope to get all the CCTV footage, so that we can do a proper analysis," a detective told Daily Nation.
