NAIROBI: A constant message from many people has been to keep politics out of funerals; they are solemn occasions. The reality however has been different. Funerals have become an ideal battleground for political titans.
The pace at which this is happening is so alarming that ordinary Kenyans are gripped with election fever. As a modern-day campaign platform and strategy, politicians have mobilised key supporters in almost all areas of their voting constituency and beyond to turn out at funerals.
