Tuesday, February 11, 2025 - The family of the late Chief and Director Agostino Odongo has returned a cow and monetary contributions given during his funeral by MP, Peter Nabulindo, and former Cabinet Secretary Rashid Echesa.
The family sent back MP Nabulindo’s contribution of KSh
15,000, adding a KSh 200 withdrawal fee.
Similarly, they returned Echesa’s donation of KSh 50,000.
In a firm stance against what they termed as political

families and avoid disruptions linked to financial contributions.

politicians using funerals as platforms for political engagement.
