In life, he kept off his family. In death, his family is keeping off him, unapologetically.
Two years since Clement Karimi died, his body continues to lie in Consolata Mathari
Hospital mortuary in Nyeri County, and no one is willing to bury it.
Karimi’s extended family in Lusoi village, Kieni, believes he had his fair share of land,
which he sold and squandered the proceeds.
His family says he frequented top entertainment spots between Nyeri, Nanyuki and Meru after selling land inherited from his father.
Now his seven siblings do not even want to incur expenses to bury him in a public cemetery,
or individually provide a final resting place. The hospital has been left to decide what to do with the body.
