When the casket bearing the remains of former First Lady Lucy Kibaki was lowered into the grave in Othaya yesterday, one man was left carrying the heavy weight of loss.

He never spoke through-out the elaborate funeral service at the Othaya Approved School’s grounds and neither did he speak at the requiem mass at Consolata Shrine in Nairobi on Wednesday.
