A sombre mood engulfed the Kakamega airstrip on Wednesday evening when the body of Chris Atema Masakha, the son of Ikolomani MP Hon. Benard Shinali, who died in US, Arizona, on July 26th, arrived ahead of his burial.
Masakha, 35, who was a marine in the US is said to have drowned in a swimming pool, leading to his demise. Leaders from all walks of life led by the Kakamega deputy Governor Philip Kutima gathered at the airstrip to receive the body before heading to his paternal home in Lirhembe, Ikolomani sub county. The burial is expected to take place on Friday.
