Two pastors on Friday morning moved to Milimani Law Courts seeking to stop the burial of the late former President Daniel Moi.
The pastors, Wilson Maina and Joel Mbugua, had gone to court to stop Moi’s burial, and at the same time apply to have Tuesday’s public holiday cancelled.
After spending hours at Milimani, they said they will file their suit on Monday.
They argue that Moi is not supposed to be laid to rest in his own home.
Being one of the presidents of Kenya, the pastors argue that Moi should be laid to rest on a government land to make it easily accessible by Kenyan Citizens who will wish to know where the second president of Kenya was buried.
According to them, it will be hard for the future generation and any other citizen to access Moi’s Kabarak home in the name of seeing where he was buried.
They say there will be no freedom of accessing his rural home.
They also want to know Moi’s real age.
This is after Lee Njiru, his long serving press secretary and family spokesperson argued that Mzee Moi died aged 102 or 103 years.
Njiru said that Moi had on several occasions told him not to believe the age written on his ID card.
The pastors argue that they need to tell their children the real age of Moi, and at the same time demand to know the reason as to why Mzee Moi lied about his age.
The pastors also want BBI campaigns stopped, arguing that Mzee Moi always advocated for peace, love and unity. According to them, Moi should not be buried until politicians bury their political differences.
