‘Cremation Nonsense!’ODM under-fire for spearheading Ken Okoth’s cremation

The Orange Democratic Movement has been subjected to harsh condemnation for spearheading Ken Okoth’s cremation which was against some family members wish.

Okoth was cremated early Saturday morning at the Kariokor crematorium in Nairobi. This information was broken to the media by ODM party which is led by Hon Raila Odinga.

Angelina Okoth, Ken Okoth’s mother was up until late friday evening insisting Okoth should be buried at her rural home at Kabondo Kasipul.

This has literally placed ODM Party underfire especially from Kenyans who supported Ken Okoth’s mum.

The cremation comes just hours after the family announced that the body of the late Okoth would not be flown to his maternal home in Kabondo Kasipul, Homa Bay as earlier planned.

Speaking at Milimani Law Courts on Friday after signing consent for the cremation to go on as planned, Sifuna cited logistical issues as reason for the change of plans.

Some netizens have even vented their anger in the native Luo language.

But the family of Ken Okoth has only one option left, to bury a banana stem.
