Joel had returned home to join his family to celebrate his son who had done well in the recent Form Four National Examination (KCSE) results.
However, what was meant to be a joyous gathering quickly turned into mourning after Joel was found dead outside a bar in the village.
The deceased’s father, Isaiah Sanduku, said his son arrived home on the day of the tragedy at five in the evening (5pm).
How did the guy who was celebrating his son’s KCSE results die?
Sanduku said Joel brought his purchases to the family and shortly after left home to meet a few friends in the village, not knowing that he would not return home alive.
“I got information that my son was lying in front of a bar within 30 minutes after leaving home. I went to the area and found him unconscious,” he said.
The grieving father asked the government to investigate the incident and find out what caused his son’s death.
He said knowing what happened will help the family know the next step.
“I would like to speak with Governor Simba Arati, who is my son’s boss. My son has worked for more than 25 years. He has three children. His wife died. I am asking the governor to help us with the funeral expenses. I am also asking the government to investigate this particular bar. It is not the first time that someone has died there. People have reported deaths linked to the same bar, but it ends there. No investigation is done,” he said.
