On Tuesday, reliable sources on social media reported that church leaders from the Western region have called on the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to retrieve the body of former politician Cyrus Jirongo.
They also demanded the removal of a torch that was reportedly buried with him.
According to the church leaders, the torch has caused fear and confusion among local leaders. They claimed that it has led some Kenyans to spread false information about the Speaker of the National Assembly, Moses Wetangula, on social media.
The leaders stressed that the situation has created unnecessary panic and must be handled carefully.
The DCI is yet to respond officially to the call, but sources indicate that authorities are looking into the matter.
Many residents in the region are now watching closely to see how the investigation and the retrieval of the torch will be handled. More updates are expected as the situation develops.
