The Kariakor Hindu Crematorium chimney steadily released smoke that curled outwards into the blue skies as the fires consumed the flesh and bones of the Duke of Kabeteshire, Charles Njonjo.
The smoke, the fire and the ashes marked the end of the life of Kenya's first Attorney General, who was aged 101. Cremation was one of Njonjo's last documented wishes.
Sometime in 2020, Njonjo penned his last wishes. The Sunday Standard can reveal that the Duke of Kabeteshire had stated in his Will that after being cremated, his ashes should be scattered in his two properties in Kiambu County.
