A video showing the unfinished house that late Ohangla musician Tony Ndiema was building before his death has surfaced online, deepening the grief surrounding his passing.
The footage, captioned "Construction in progress, so painful", has drawn widespread attention as mourners reflect on the dreams the singer never got to fulfil.
The video tours the property, revealing brick and block walls still under construction, green metal roof trusses, roofing sheets, timber and other building materials scattered across a muddy compound.
Chickens roam freely as the camera moves through what appears to have been a spacious family home under construction.
The clip has also sparked debate online, with many questioning what will happen to the unfinished house and whether, under Luo customs, it can be completed by someone else after the owner's death.

Ndiema died while receiving treatment at Oasis Hospital in Kisii, leaving fans, friends and family devastated.
In one of his final interviews, the singer claimed that powerful forces were working against him.
The resurfacing of the construction video ahead of his burial has made the loss even more poignant, with many saying it represents a future that was cut short.
Meanwhile, the family and close associates of the celebrated Ohangla musician have released the official funeral programme.
After consultations, the family confirmed that Ndiema will be buried on Wednesday, August 5, at his ancestral home in Omoche Village, Gem Asumbi, Rangwe Constituency, Homa Bay County.
In a statement shared by Kokomoh Victor, chairperson of the organising committee, the family said: "We wish to inform you that the late Tony Ndiema will be laid to rest on Wednesday, 5th August, at his ancestral home in Omoche Village, Gem Asumbi, Rangwe Constituency, Homa Bay County. His body will be collected from Hema Mortuary, Kisii, on Tuesday, 4th August."
The committee also explained why the burial was postponed.
"The burial date was agreed upon after consultations with the family. Around the time Tony passed away, two of his close relatives also passed away. They have not yet been buried, and the last of those burials is scheduled for 24th July. In accordance with the family's arrangements and traditions, those burials will take place first, after which Tony will be accorded his final send-off," the statement read.
Before his body is transported to Homa Bay County, two candle-lighting ceremonies will be held in his honour.
The first is scheduled for Wednesday, July 15, at EGESA Villa in Umoja, while the second will take place on Tuesday, July 28, at Fine Breeze, Dagoretti Corner.
