The funeral of Mr. James Wuod Maggero appears to be over. As we write, the body might or might not have been cremated because there is no official confirmation. By the time the Church service was held on Friday 12th January, the family had not yet responded to a plea by Kenyans in Stockholm that they wait with cremating the body until Maggero’s family members could send representatives from Kenya to attend the funeral.
Failure by the family to respond to the request was interpreted by Kenyans to mean that the family was not interested in looking at the idea and the general view on Friday was that Maggero would be cremated.
Mr. Maggero’s daughter Hellen and a son in Law, told this writer after a Kenyan meeting on Wednesday this week that the family had banned KSB from attending the service unless the Maggero stories could be pulled down from the blog site.
Given the impossible nature of the condition, KSB opted to keep out of the service. It is the view of KSB that the Maggero stories will not be “cremated” and will remain at the site. KSB is gathering information about the latest on the Maggero case and will post a report on Sunday evening.
