Thursday, July 3, 2025 - A video of Albert Ojwang’s father thanking a private funeral service for donating a hearse to transport his son’s body to Homa Bay has sparked mixed reactions online.
In the widely circulated clip, the grieving father stands
beside the sleek, black hearse and expresses gratitude for the company's
generosity in offering the service free of charge.
While some have praised the gesture, others have criticized
the father for what they perceive as the commercialization of Albert’s tragic
death.
Critics took issue with his tone and language, particularly
when he referred to his son’s death as an "accident" - despite
evidence indicating that Albert died in police custody under suspicious
circumstances.
The backlash comes just days after the family lawyer, Julius
Juma, disclosed that the Ojwang family had received over Ksh5 million in
donations.
President William Ruto contributed Ksh2 million, ODM leader
Raila Odinga gave Ksh1 million, while Kenyans collectively donated over Ksh2
million through grassroots efforts.
