Last week, there were whispers in Kenya’s social media that his wives will honour the Luo culture and do the unthinkable.
Everyone knows that in the Luo community traditions, when a man dies, there are many outdated customs that are conducted before and after the body is buried.
It is a fact that a married woman in any community goes through very painful moments and is traumatized when the husband passes away but in the Luo community, the pain is aggravated by their traditions. One of the steps is that immediately the death is confirmed, the deceased’s wife is not allowed to take a bath or even change to clean clothes until the husband is buried.
Although Kajwang’s family is a modernized family, the family kept off some of the outdated customs that made other African communities fear the Luo culture and beliefs.
According to our sources, the only thing Kajwang‘s wives, Dr Rose Otieno and Faith Otieno, were forced to do, is to sleep next to Kajwang’s casket for the whole night.
After Kajwang’s burial, Rose and Faith, went on and reportedly shaved their hair on Sunday and the exercise was done in front of elders.
Among the Luos, hair contributes a lot to beauty and therefore the removal of hair is a sign of mourning.
Kajwang’s wives were asked to do it to prevent being haunted by the ghosts of their late husband.
