Government Approves Establishment of Sh800 million Cemetery for Rich Kenyans

Secession.....

Those called super rich in Kenya have farms. Many Kenyans are buried in their farms aka family cemetery according to Kenyan culture. It is the poor who need the cemetery because they do not have farms.

we should encourage cremeation.saves space and can equally serve the rich as well as the poor

What a waste. Cremation is way to go...your body is useless as soon as you stop breathing. Your spirit can live on by ashes...

This is good news to Nyandarua residents. It will afford them a chance for the government to tarmac the roads leading to cemetery or they will refuse to be buried there. Dead rich people have finally come to rescue Nyandarua from marginalization!!!. Nyandarua historical injustice is finally been addressed by dead rich people

Build it and they will come. I see employment opportunities in this project. Very good idea. Kenya is really keeping up with the world.

Waste of valuable land and money. Go back to African traditions and beliefs. We do not need to copy the west on this. Our dead are remembered in the living. Yes, spend the money in Nyandarua but not on the dead but on the living. This is insanity. Africans do not ever visit the dead after they die. What is such a cemetry for? other than copying for the sake of copying. We carry our dead in our souls.

After the funerals, the likes of Rasta, Wanugu, Wacucu and Shimoli will visit these graves and steal the super rich coffins. Ama there will be security? Haijalishi, ni nchi ya kitu kidogo. At a small fee, the security will cooperate. Wezi wa majeneza wanameza mate.

It's not a waste of money. I see a lot of ancillary business opportunities arising from this project. Security jobs, landscaping, gravediggers, petro stations, bars, restaurants etc... Land prices will also go up around the beautiful facility.

Yet the poor residents have no piece of land to live on leave alone bury their dead.Of all the counties where land is needed for agriculture and housing this so called Jubilee government will finish Kenya.Set up the cemetery in Baringo Turkana or North eastern where nothing grows and the land will not be missed.Surely greed and inequality has no limits hii serikali bandia itatumaliza.Happy resistance 2018 to you and yours.

For Africans, we do our best for the living not for the dead. This is waste of public resources. We need a referendum on this one. I hope African fight against this useless project. How many grave sites do we expect to have for the rich in the next 100 years. Ohh no. This one is a no no. The dead rich will be consuming the resources of the living while they are dead. This is a no go zone for the Africans. How many grave sights do we have for the last 50 years. We haven't been able to feed the living, but we have extra land(resources) to allocate the dead. Our priorities are messed up. Time to rethink this strategy. This is not development. This are some of the things we do out of stupidity.

It’s a private firm which is doing so not the government.Ngaii fafa diaspora mnakuwanga na umama mwingi sana.The company bot land n it’s investing in the cemetery,the gover only Approved so this idiots blaming the gover need to understand so???Its a private cemetery thou I support it instead of pple bin hurried in their half acre or quarter plot especially in kiambu.Cremation is the best n cheaper thou

This will be one of those white elephant projects.

Give me a break! It's just 69 acres for God's sake! 800 million shilling project. There's plenty of idle land lying around and nobody complains. No homeless people will get that land cemetery or no cemetery. Na hiyo ni maendeleo.

Private or not, our African culture and traditions should be considered when putting up some of these projects. All the resources belong to Mwananchi and therefore should in one way or other either be our mirror image or be beneficial to us. These are some of the useless projects that will eventually be abandoned or uprooted in future when we finally accept who we are and not become copy cats. No African believes there is anything to visit or talk to after death. We bury the dead in our backyard and plant a banana or a tree and only remember the dead in our soul. We never even visit them in our backyard. The dead are dead and they keep on living in us and in our children. Again, wrong idea. The dead whether rich or poor are just that dead. They are no longer useful to the living. They should not be put into consideration while allocating our resources. BAD IDEA!

Ngaiii fafa diaspora refungees it doesn’t belong to gover.Its private so don’t mix private n gava.Tes it mite turn out to b white or black or pink elephant but it’s upto each individual to either buy it to the project or not??? 69 acres sounds small but trust me it’s big divide that into 3x6 so u actually get more than 35000 dead pple there.But again as someone said kuchoma watu is the right way to go.Actually 800m is cheaper including the tarmac they have to do,fencing n decorating the cemetery,church for prayers so it me sound a lot but I think it’s worth it!If 130k include everything or u have to do is take ur yr body there I think it’s a good deal for those who r in diaspora!Cu guys can afford it juu mko mayuuu.

Tutaiga mila za watu wengine mpaka lini? Maiti ni maiti. Mtu akishakufa, yafaa azikwe bila gharama zozote. Yafaa azikwe bila sanduku lolote. Baada ya kuchimba kaburi, atiwe ndani ya gunia, halafu aingizwe kaburini. Asiwekewe msalaba alipozikwa. MAITI NI MAITI HAINA TAJIRI WALA MASKINI.

This person calling themselves Mumbi appears to be quite stupid going by the comments.

Very true mumbi!We know the pple or tribe who r ati developments!Any projects they see coming up they have to bring negative shit into it.U saw them stopping sgr,rural electrification,lappset project,jkia Airport expansion n yet their dammm old fragile so called leader want to b the president yet after more than 20yrs bin an mp n 5 yrs bin prime minister hata Choo ya 3x6 hawezi njenga.Hehehehe na eti ni Engineer?????Bure kabisa

What a gross subject to step into the new year with. I second Maxiley, although I get some kind of look when I voice this to my family. Personally, I can't stand being lowered six feet under, whilst the rest of you scatter back to your warm beds leaving me alone dead or whatever! Taboo subject and one that needs careful approach lest you offend your loved ones. A little like organ donation.... Anyway, never been vain in life, so why would I be in death? Simple burial for me and if there is surplus money, donate to the needy or family. Lease of 50 years is daylight robbery, it's normally 99 years.
