Former Lugari MP and Cabinet Minister Cyrus Jirongo was laid to rest on Tuesday after dying in a Naivasha road crash on December 12, ruled by police as speeding with no foul play, though murder rumors linger due to his political past.
At the funeral, attended by leaders like Uhuru Kenyatta and Musalia Mudavadi, Khalwale and Tiriki Luhya elders performed a ritual placing a lit torch, or 'njanwa,' in the coffin to supposedly expose killers by igniting at their home. Supporters hailed it as accountability, while skeptics called it superstition unfit for a modern Christian burial.
