They also said that Kenyans don’t need a holiday to view the body of the e-commander in Chief of the Defense Forces-they sai many Kenyans will not travel to the city to pay their last respect
Thus, the pleaded with the government to allow Kenyans who will not travel to the city time to carry on with income-generating activities
The pay also requested to know the exact age of the late president and if there is any corruption then they should know
“Lee Njiru, the longest-serving PA contradicts his real age and as such, we cannot know his exact age. We, therefore, need to know his real age so that we can evaluate whether we have been lied to,” they argued.
Many people believe that Moi died at 95 while Njiru who has been an aide for the ex-president said that Moi could have died with slightly over 100 years
They also complained that there was no day or time allocated for school going children to see the body of the ex-president
They also requested that it would be respectful to suspend the burial of Moi until BBI campaigns are over
The two also demand Moi`s will so that they would know what the ex-president wanted after his death.
The two might move to court on Monday, February 10, to file their petition
