Six of eight family members who died in the Maai Mahiu flooding tragedy were buried in Longonot, Naivasha, in a ceremony full of grief. Tears flowed freely as the six who, included four children, were buried next to each other in a public cemetery a few kilometres from the scene of the tragedy. Already, two of the minors were buried last weekend in their father’s rural home in Kinangop. While thanking the government and well-wishers for the continued support, Wanja said that they were not ready to go back to their homes as they were still traumatised. Wanja termed the tragedy as the darkest moment for the family and other victims as they slowly start their recovery journey in the camps.
