    "content": " Hon. Speaker, every community has a way of celebrating their dead. In Rabai and Kilifi, when one dies, particularly on the eve of his burial, people celebrate with the dead overnight. Dirges are sung during those overnight vigils. If there are gospel bands, they play till morning. This is what the Cabinet Secretary (CS) put together and called Disco Matangas . Otherwise, those are traditional practices which have always been there to honour the dead. In short, that is what they call Disco Matanga . They are actually traditional practices which have lived with us."
