What was meant to be a decent send-off for Jonah Rotich, Ababu Namwamba's long-time bodyguard and aide, turned chaotic as family tension spilt over during his burial.
The emotional ceremony was held on June 4 and took an unexpected turn when Rotich's brother publicly accused his wife of mistreating him during his lifetime.
Rotich, who had served as Namwamba's bodyguard for 18 years, was laid to rest in Eldoret, in an event flanked by dignitaries, family members, and close friends in attendance.
Among those present was Kenya's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Office at Nairobi (UNON), Namwamba himself, with his partner, Amy Lucia, who had joined the family in paying their last respect to the long-time aide.
