By DICKENS WESONGA More by this AuthorTwenty-five mourners who travelled from Mombasa to Siaya for burial were on Friday arrested and put into isolation. Bondo police boss Antony Wafula said the mourners were arrested for failing to produce a certificate confirming they had undergone Covid-19 test. Police allowed a brief burial ceremony of the late Evans Odongo in Ndera village before they seized the mourners from Mombasa and took them to Siaya Kenya Medical Training Centre for isolation. Mr Odongo was the branch secretary of the tailors and textile workers’ union in Changamwe, Mombasa County. Last month, Siaya Governor Cornell Rasanga asked families who lost their kin in Nairobi or Mombasa to consider burying them there.
