Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo has hit out at Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko over the botched funeral of the late Kibra MP Ken Okoth.
Millie took to social media to fire salvos at Sonko, accusing him of exposing Ken’s escapades at the wrong time.
Millie said that Sonko’s loose tongue is the start of the woes of the family after the deceased’s body was cremated.
She said that Sonko had taken advantage of the event to seek cheap publicity thereby affecting the planned burial in Kabondo in Homa Bay County.
The lawmaker said that time has come for Sonko to man up after the body of the late was not flown to the father’s birthplace following cremation.
“Your unnecessary drama spiraled a behind-the-scenes series of events that resulted in Okoth's body not being taken to Kabondo,” she said, as quoted by Standard.
The family and leaders from the Nyanza region have been faulting those who oversaw the cremation process.
The mother of the deceased has claimed that she was not informed of the plans to cremate the deceased before the process was undertaken.
Nominated MCA Anne Thumbi, who reportedly sired a child with Ken Okoth, has threatened to sue the family after cremation.
The family now wants to bury a banana stalk in memory of the deceased.
