Additionally, Nduta expressed her pride at the kindness and intelligence David embodied throughout his life.
“Today we gather to pay tribute to my son who left us far too soon. As his mother, I am proud to watch him grow as a good example to his family and friends. His kindness, compassion and his wisdom will forever echo in our hearts,” Nduta remarked.
“Your physical time is over, however, I ask of you this one favour, please put those hands I held you with, one on your brother and one on God’s hands to guide him in this journey until we reunite. Please tell God thank you for me, tell him how grateful, thankful and privileged I feel that he chose me to be your mom, and I hope I made him proud…I hold you with my whole entire heart.”
Kenyan activists, including Boniface Mwangi, Hanifa and Haki Africa Executive Director Hussein Khalid, were among the mourners who joined in for Chege’s final send-off.
Previously, human defender Boniface Mwangi had called on Kenyans to attend the burials of protesters s**t during the anti-Finance Bill 2024.
Mwangi said the protesters should be buried in caskets draped in the Kenyan flag because they died f******g for justice.
He attended Saturday’s burial of one of the protesters, Andrew Mwawasi, at Lang’ata cemetery, Nairobi.
“Andrew Kelvin Mwawasi has been laid to rest. For those who can, please make an effort to attend the funerals of those the state m******d. Bury them with the Kenyan flag, they died for us,” Mwangi said.
Mwangi was a key organiser of the Occupy Parliament protests on the twin Tuesdays of June 18 and 25.
