There was anxiety at a funeral in a village in Amagoro constituency Busia County, after a “dead man” rejected a coffin that was bought by a Good Samaritan.
The dead man who was an Amagoro CDF official, rejected the coffin because it had been donated by a person who was not an Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) member.
The dead man only identified as John Derogatious (Jed) Odero Omorit rejected the coffin and mourners had to wait for hours before another coffin was bought by area MP Sospeter Ojaamong.
Chakol Parish priest Fredrick Odikor rescued a member of the deceased after he accused Mr Ojaamong and Teso South parliamentary aspirant Mary Emase of causing the standoff at the funeral by politicising the function.
