The humour, mystery and the financial woes that characterised the life and times of former Ainabkoi MP William Chepkut continued playing out days after his death.
His burial in Flax, Uasin Gishu County on October 18, turned into a theatre where rib-cracking speeches and emotional tributes blended on a sorrowful day, when a politician who was described as excessively generous and humorous was being laid to rest.
More humorous moments, which endeared Chepkut to his former employer, former powerful minister Nicholas Biwott, family, friends and voters emerged.
Chepkut died in Nairobi on October 8. A postmortem conducted on October 12 indicated that he suffered a blood clot. One of his friends only identified as Sagero tickled mourners when he narrated how Chepkut snatched his girlfriend and made her his third wife.
