Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Director of Communications Philip Etale has given more details about the death of his elder brother who died on Monday.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Etale said that the brother, Zachariah Etale, died peacefully in his sleep on Monday.
The details came a day after he disclosed the death on his brother on Monday. On Tuesday, he disclosed that Zachariah, whom he said has been ailing lately, died while resting on the couch.
"Zack died peacefully in his house on the couch, the same spot my brothers Okwemba and James left him when he told them he wanted to relax a bit then retire to bed," he wrote.
The death came only days after the burial of another relative, Elijah Seka, a brother-in-law to the Etale.
Etale says that plans are in place to lay the deceased to rest at Emutete Musitinyi village in Luanda, Vihiga County on Friday, August 30.
"We plan to lay Zack to rest next Friday, 30th August, 2019 at Emutete Musitinyi village, Luanda constituency in Vihiga county," he added.
According to Etale who has repeatedly hinted at running for the Lugari parliamentary seat in the 2022 polls, the family has lost quite a number of relatives over the last six years.
