As the burial continues in Bungoma, social media has been awash with claims that two of Tony’s sisters have been placed under quarantine in a KMTC in the region. It is believed that Wetangula ordered the quarantine.KDRTV has not independently verified these reports.
If indeed it is true he died from COVID-19, then the Ministry of Health will have a lot of questions on how it has been handling COVID-19 deaths. The rich in society are given a decent sendoff while the nobodies are thrown away like dogs.
