A day ago
The people of Kakamega gathered in a solemn and emotional display of love and respect as the funeral cortege of the late Malava MP, Moses Malulu Injendi, arrived in the town. The sight of the hearse moving through the roads evoked deep emotions, as residents lined up by the roadside to bid their final farewell to a leader they held dear.
The procession was quiet, with an air of deep sorrow and reverence. The hearse, a sleek black limousine, carried the late MP’s casket as it traversed the town. It was adorned with a wreath of flowers, symbolizing the collective mourning of the people. To ensure that the public had a chance to pay their respects, the hearse had its ‘side wings’ open, allowing a clear final view of the casket.
The late MP's children accompanied their father in the same hearse, sharing in his final earthly journey. Their presence in the vehicle was a touching moment, a poignant reminder of the strong bond they shared with their father. As the procession moved slowly, the people of Kakamega stood in silence, their eyes filled with grief. Many bowed their heads in prayer, while others whispered quiet messages of farewell.
A requiem service was held to honor the life and legacy of Moses Malulu Injendi. During this solemn gathering, his son, Melvin Malulu, addressed those present and made it clear that the burial service would not be a political event. He emphasized that politicians would be given an opportunity to offer their condolence messages on Monday, March 3, a day before the burial. However, on the day of the burial, only President William Ruto, the family, and church representatives would be permitted to speak. This decision was aimed at ensuring that the ceremony remained a respectful and dignified send-off for the late MP.
The burial ceremony is set to take place at Malulu’s home in Kakamega. Leaders and residents from all walks of life are expected to attend, reflecting the wide-reaching impact the late MP had on his constituents and beyond.
Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa urged for peace and dignity during the proceedings. He called on residents and political leaders to put aside any differences and maintain unity throughout the funeral service. His message resonated deeply with the mourners, as they reflected on the life and contributions of their late leader.
As Kakamega prepares to lay Moses Malulu Injendi to rest, the overwhelming sense of loss is evident. The streets, which once echoed with his political engagements and leadership, are now filled with the quiet sorrow of those he served. His legacy will be remembered not just through the policies he championed but also through the deep love and respect shown by the people he represented.
For many, this final journey of their leader is not just about saying goodbye but about celebrating a life dedicated to public service. His contributions to the community will not be forgotten, and his absence will be deeply felt. As the burial day approaches, the people of Kakamega stand together in mourning, united in their grief and gratitude for the man who devoted his life to their service.
