Villagers: It feels empty without our beloved JT

Pall bearers place the casket baring the remains of Jonathan Moi at the grave at Kabimoi in Baringo County.

The sleepy village of Kabimoi yesterday bid farewell to one of their most famous sons, Jonathan Toroitich Kipkemboi Moi who was laid to rest late afternoon. Neighbours said he was a down to earth man, social and generous.

A man who never walked in the shadow of royalty but instead mingled freely with neighbours, living each moment with an open heart, his doors always open to those who sought help from him.
