My apologies to Mheshimiwa Jalang’o. Something always captures my mind when it comes to deaths and the way we as Africans relate to it. There is a lot of mysticism associated with death yet I see it simply as a natural biological process. However, we tend to get into a certain state of mind when we experience death that even our rationality becomes questionable. On the economic side, the poor are the most affected when we suffer death. If you attend a rich man’s funeral, it may be elegant but if you look at the expenses involved, they tend to be very manageable as opposed to a poor man’s funeral which tends to be very expensive. With respect to this particular Motion, it is timely and we should support it. I also understand that managing cemeteries is a devolved function.
