Meru Catholic Church Refuses to Bury 100-Year-Old Grandmother Over KSh 6,300 ArrearsSource: UGCRael Mwathirwa Ibaya, who was over 100 years old, had been a devoted member of her local parish in Athwana Ward, Tigania West Constituency. Her grandson, Festus, told TUKO.co.ke that the elderly woman had remained active in church for most of her life, only slowing down in recent years due to age. “When we approached the church for burial arrangements, they told us they first needed to confirm whether she owed any dues,” he started. Church officials reportedly established that the centenarian had missed some contributions, accumulating arrears amounting to KSh 6,300.
