The burial of Musa Karani, a former aide to Kenya’s second President Daniel arap Moi, turned chaotic in Teso North when mourners heckled Busia County Finance Minister Douglas Okiring’.

Okiring’, who had been given a chance to address the mourners, was interrupted when he attempted to mention Governor Paul Otuoma’s name. 

According to a video captured by Kenyan Report, the county official started his speech by  telling the gathering that Otuoma had sent him with a contribution of KSh15,000 for the funeral expenses. 

Before he could proceed, the crowd shouted him down, forcing him to cut short his remarks.
