A burial ceremony in a small Kenyan village turned dramatic after a tearful lady boldly confronted her relatives, accusing them of hypocrisy for pretending to love her late mother after neglecting her during her time of sickness.
The emotional moment came as mourners gathered around the graveside to pay their final respects. In her moving outburst, the grieving daughter reminded her relatives that while her mother was alive, most of them never visited her, nor did they offer any financial or emotional support.
Yet, at her burial, they arrived in large numbers, singing praises and showing love that she described as “too little, too late.”
“Mama yangu akiwa hai hamkuwa mnamsaidia, sasa amekufa mumekuja hapa kujifanya vile mlimpenda,” she cried, her voice trembling with anger and pain.
Many mourners were left in shock as silence swept through the gathering. Some nodded in agreement, while others looked away, uncomfortable with the public rebuke.
The lady further revealed the struggles her mother went through, including unpaid medical bills and lonely days of suffering, which she said could have been eased if the family had united to support her.
According to her, neighbors and a few close friends stood by the late woman more than her own blood relatives did.
Her bold remarks have since sparked debate online after a video clip of the incident surfaced on social media, with many Kenyans supporting her bravery in speaking the truth. Others, however, felt such matters should have been addressed privately rather than at a funeral.
The incident has now opened wider conversations on family responsibility, with many urging relatives to show love and support to their kin while they are still alive rather than waiting for funerals to pretend care.
