I love us 💓💓💓💓💓! The influx of people don't come empty-handed. They bring with them (all manner of) material things for utility during funerals along with their hearts bigger than the sky to make room for those grieving to freely express. Community is our religion ✨️
Scheaffer Okore@scheafferoo

Look at our Western cousins coming through in cultural regalia, bulls, dry food and chants of grieving hearts. We have always grieved communally. Community is our religion. Piny Omor...🙌🏾

Budho; to keep vigil, to stay awake, to watch over, to guard, so that the spirit of the deceased isn't alone.

The good things Raila did are only being spoken of now. No one wanted to say them when he was alive, when we needed to defend him against the ethnic jingoists who had long written him off, echoing the same prejudices they’d grown up hearing from their parents around dinner tables. They mocked his struggle, distorted his intentions, and dismissed his vision. Yet it is that same vision they now romanticize in his death. History is kinder to the dead than the living, it seems! Kenya might have been far ahead of where it stands today. If only they gave the man a chance!
Mr. Kaplan@Kamaitha

We engaged his office when he was Prime Minister. He introduced the Free Sanitary pads for all public schools. The budget was 3.2B.. but the Government could only provide 300M. He told us he will keep pushing for more. And man, he pushed! We have lost a Great Man! 😭

Sigweya! What a poetic, healing way to process heavy emotions that come with death. That it's also phrased directly to the deceased is incredible for expressing painful/traumatic feelings. Again, cultural intelligence dismissed as unnecessary drama.

I have seen some people argue that Queen Elizabeth II and the Pope were buried in private ceremonies. Let us remind them that neither the Queen nor the Pope were Luos. They were buried according to their societies’ cultures, customs and traditions. A Luo man with a homestead must be buried in accordance with Luo culture, customs and traditions. We must not accept colonial practices to take over our mores, traditions and customs. As for those who argue that the Odinga family owes Kenyans nothing, let me remind them that everything members of the Odinga family have and enjoy—the power, influence, wealth and privileges—emanate DIRECTLY from the people. For those arguing about “the Will”, let me remind them that we have not seen or read it, nor have we seen the advocate who read it in the PRESENCE of ALL beneficiaries as required by law. After all, no one has claimed that @RailaOdinga wanted to be buried as a boy who died in his father’s homestead. Some of these issues are too consequential to be left to opportunists, hypocrites and transactional dealers. @RailaOdinga must be given a befitting send off as a Luo Elder. He cannot be buried in secret like a thief. The public and state agencies are urged to exercise absolute restraint and decorum during the entire process. Period.

I hope the funeral planning committee are putting together a fire list of musicians like, Coster Ojwang, Brian Sigu, Winyo, Wesley and many more to galvanise the Luo spirit, culture and embodiment of Jowi.

Death hits different when you are sitted at the front row of a funeral If you’ve ever lost a close one, you’d never wish death on anyone. Let us never again move like the oppressors. Because if we win playing their game then we’ve lost. RISASI IMEBAKI MOJA , ZAKAYO ASHUKE !!

That person who asked us why we pick “a mad man roaming the streets and we call him Baba as if we don’t have our own fathers” can now understand why we called Jakom, Baba. Piny otueyo leso! Agwambo Chuma Liet. Tinga Wuod Nyalego okew kanea! Jowi Jowi Jowi.

Let everyone do the chaotic mourning. It’s harmless. They are not hurting anyone. Who are you to dictate how people will mourn? Raila was truly loved, let him be sent home in pomp.

Najua mko busy na matanga but... 8 Parliamentary Bills have just been assented and signed into law at Statehouse this morning. I'll be quoting some of these that I've broken down bedore. Will be highlighting. I didn't expect them to be rushed that fast through Parliament.

Spicy, flavorful, tender Chicken Chooza served with Kachumbari and Ugali. Kenya’s taste with deep roots in the Indian diaspora who made 🇰🇪 home. A reminder that when cultures meet, flavors evolve, and friendships are forged with @arnaud_suquet the 🇫🇷 Ambassador to Kenya over good food, laughter, and a glass of fine wine. 🇰🇪 🤝 🇫🇷
