They begged, prayed, spoke in tongues, even removed the casket from the bus for the deceased to "catch some sun and fresh air,” but nothing worked.
Pale barabarani mambo yalichemka! Mwendasake refused to board and go home! Despite the heavy church battalion being present and aboard, mkufi is said to have offed the bus and stalled it severally as eye witnesses narrate. Mourners who left the Capital city for Kavirondo at 4am are still stuck on the road, 3pm bado hawajafika hata Awasi, Safari ni vita tu na marehemu.
They even removed mkufi outside to catch some Sun, vitamins and fresh air lakini wapi! They have even brought the wisemen to try and engage with mwendasake but the hard-headed marehemu still refused to go. They have even tried to put his head facing the opposite direction or across kumdanganya wanamrudisha Nairobi lakini mkufi is too clever, bado amenyonga tu gari and mguu ya driver.
In Kavirondo they say when mwendasake is behaving this way, either they have unresolved land or family issues where they are being taken for burial or their Killa and life taker is aboard the vehicle and must climb down. Hapa sasa itabidi kila mtu ashuke chini, marehemu awekwe ndani, abiria waingie one by one as the driver ignites the vehicle. Yule gari itakata kuguruma kwake is the hard-eyed wich or kila. They will be expelled from the journey na mizigo yake ajipange and banned from the funeral, after that marehemu ataacha kunyonga gari na safari iendele. Until that happens marehemu is not going to sayun anytime soon. Awuoro!
