    If his soul took the expressway with prepaid toll, he should be in hell by now.
    Sorrow? Uhuru I know he took you, dusted you up and chose you to be his successor but those are your private dealings he does not deserve a state funeral. This is just dynasty taking care of dynasty at the expense of common Wanjiku.
