A land ownership dispute in Tetu district has delayed the burial of a 85-year-old granny by almost two months. Wangui Kibara died in May but is yet to be buried after a relative refused to allow the body buried at her father's eight acre farm at Gaaki village in Nyeri county. The Icha Kamuyu clan and the provincial administration led by DC Herman Shambi failed to convince Wilson Ndirangu to let let burial proceed. Kibara's body is at the Nyeri Provincial General Hospital mortuary where it has been kept since May 18.
The clan's spokesman Wilfred Wanjigo is blaming Ndirangu, 62, for refusing to inter his aunt's remains at the father's land. Ndirangu insists Kibara should be buried in Eastern province where she divorced with her husband 58 years ago. "This is just incitement by the locals. Wangui had her home where she was married and should be buried there," he said.
