A
harambee for the funeral expenses of Senator Mutula Kilonzo yesterday raised
Sh16 million in a record 10 minutes. Political bigwigs and Mutula’s legal
friends trooped into the All Saints Cathedral in Nairobi to raise funds for a
befitting send-off.
The MC, Isaac Kaluu, invited former
Prime Minister Raila Odinga who donated Sh600,000 at 6.54pm. A stream of
donations followed and in about five minutes, Kaluu announced that MPs had
pledged Sh2 million.
Mourners from Makueni, through governor
Kivutha Kibwana, pledged Sh1 million. At 7.05pm, Kaluu announced that they had
hit the Sh16million target. Also present were family members, former AG Charles
Njonjo and former MP Stanley Githunguri.
