They refuse to let him bury her

[IsMundu]

Kijana fulani - let’s call him Will - mGreek kutoka Nakuru county alihamia Nairobbery miaka ya nyuma kidogo, na akampata na kumpenda kipusa kutoka Ingo kwa akina @uwesmake. They have been blessed with a lovely baby girl. Last year the woman developed renal complications and the only available, compatible donor was her brother; ambaye aliingia nyasi when the day of the transplant came.

Inspite of being a real hustler, Kijana Will alipambana na kumlipia mke wake dialysis; but could not raise enough funds to take her to India for a transplant. Sadly, she succumbed to the Grim Reaper two weeks ago.

While the woman was going through all these, only her mother, (and the brother before he was slated to donate an organ) visited her at the hospital from her side of the family, hata kusaidia in any way - cash or kind ilikuwa zi. Now that the girl is dead, the wazees from Ingo have been demanding that the guy pay’s dowry of ng’ombe saba na 300,000 before Will can bury her wife.

Will accompanied by his father and a few Elders walienda Ingo ku-plead eti waachiwe watoe 80,000 sasa, wazike msichana, halafu walipe the difference in time. Wazee wakadinda. Wakarudi Nairoberry and kusanya-sanya fedha hadi zikafika 150,000 wakaenda kujitetea tena, lakini wazee bado hawakubanduka. The girl’s mother tried to plead his case (he had witnessed the commitment of the guy to her daughter) lakini akaambiwa @Jirani style: “m-woman!! keti pale -----> _”!

Last Wednesday, Jamaa aliwarushia mikono akawambia wazike maiti yao na waende wakikauka! Kwani iko nene!

Sasa familia ya msichana ilibidi wauze ng’ombe to raise funds za kulipa mortuary, kusafirisha maiti kutoka City, na other miscellaneous expenses. She was laid to rest on Friday. What kind of bull-crap is this!?

I side with Willy. They were pushing him too much. This practice is more common in Western Kenya when the deceased did not meet dowry obligations. They really frustrate him.

[Koolibah]

Mimi hata hiyo 80k I can’t offer. Wakileta nye kidogo tu na wapi kisogo (see what I did there? Hehe) mauti wakae nayo mtoi the law protects me. Kaarî kîî!?

Constitution mpya ilitoa story ya dowry coz ya hii upuzi

[captain_obvious]

@IsMundu do you think Will’s tribe (i.e the perception that shiny eyes have money) played a role in determining that punitive amount (300k)? I doubt they’d have demanded that kind of money if the husband had also been from Ingo.

[Fala_12]

hapo unawaonyesha kidole cha kati na una ‘let the dead bury their dead’ unabaki kushugulikia watoto

[It_s_Le_Scumbag]

Msee hata alijaribu kuenda kuplead na wao. You do not have the time when you are in mourning. Kama hamtaki nimzike mzikeni. Nothing will change the fact that she was my wife na alinizalia… Na mtoto hampati.

Greed in the name of traditions.

Hapa yule amebaki na uchungu ni mama msichana. Poor mother!

[Wakanyama]

I certainly think so, but maybe @Mundu Mulosi could enlighten us some more.

Hata hiyo 150k ya kwanza walihata.

[john_doe]

Hata hiyo 80k siwezi toa, hiyo ni ufala wa hali ya juu sana

That’s our biggest problem- outdated culture practice .this is just FRESH STEAMING BULLSHIT. now their greed succumbed to their greed . Jinga kabisa. Good lesson to them

[Mzee_mzima]

Sasa mbona brother alikataa kutoa hio organ? Alafu watu husema blood is thicker than water, fact is uji is more thicker.

When you become a baller with real money is when you realize who your real friends are. NONE!

Shida zikijipa ndiyo mabeshte hu-scuttle kama mende taa ikiwashwa. Very few will stand with you.

[WuTang]

Aachane nayo because he is already bereaved but he should find a way to honor the memory of his wife just to get some closure. I loathe these complex funeral rites.
