I have mixed feelings about these. But then, Gideon moi was right to go console the Matiba family.
It’s also positive to see him being welcomed by the family.

Senator Gideon Moi condoled with Kenneth Matiba’s family at their home in Riara Ridge, Limuru on Monday.
The Baringo senator posted a photo of him and Edith, wife of the late Matiba, on his Facebook page.
The move is likely to end speculation among Kenyans who had been waiting for former President Daniel Moi’s reaction to Matiba’s death.
Moi, who is Gideon’s father, detained the second liberation fighter during the clamour for multi-party ahead of the 1992 elections.
There are claims that circumstances of Matiba’s detention contributed to his ill-health, and subsequent death on April 15.
Matiba boycotted the 1997 polls and burned his voter’s card, citing the lack of democracy in a vote in which Moi won.
Due to his political rivalry with the retired President, he refused to let his Saba Saba Asili party join NARC during the 2002 elections.
Matiba died at Karen Hospital in Nairobi.

The 85-year-old former Kiharu MP was to receive Sh945 million as compensation for torture, detention and stroke.
He will be cremated in line with his wishes.

This village is truly slowing down if by now we haven’t had a thread on Matiba’s impending cremation.
Ooh, and the Royal baby too.

Moi condoling with Matibas is like somebody sticking his middle finger deep into your anus and looking straight into your eyes to see your reaction knowing very well that there’s nothing you can do. That’s a sadist

Third high profile cremation from a society that normally buries rather than cremate after the former head of the Anglican church Manasses Kuria, Wangari Mathai and now KSN Matiba.
As to why, I believe it’s a matter of personal choice.

Matiba alisema “didn’t Kikuyus use to leave bodies in the forest to be eaten by hyenas?” Anyway his wishes should be respected.

Kuna a classmate high school alijiua kwa dorm akasema achomwe pia but they buried him. Dunno if it came back to haunt them, but beneath his family’s grief there was anger that he did that without even asking for help. So maybe it was a subtle “fuck you” to him.
