Where and When Mzee Jackson Kibor Will Be Buried

/

The family of the late Mzee Jackson Kibor has finally revealed the date and place the prominent Uasin Gishu farmer, politician and businessman will be buried.

Mzee Kibor died on March 16, 2022, following Covid-19 complications that he has been battling for over a year.

He had been on oxygen support from October 2020 when he contracted Covid-19 until he died while receiving treatment at St Luke’s Hospital in Eldoret town.

According to the family, the burial date has been set for April 1, 2022. It has also been agreed that the burial site will be at his Kabenes home, a few kilometers from Eldoret town.

Mzee will be buried in Kabenes because that is where he has been living. Some of our children have arrived home from diaspora while others are yet to arrive and that is the reason why we have put the funeral date in April,” said Naomi, Mzee Kibor’s third wife, as quoted by Standard Media.

The controversial farmer and businessman owned expansive tracks of land in several parts of Uasin Gishu including Kipkabus, as well as Trans Nzoia.

Kabenes is where his first wife – Mary Kibor, was buried in 2010.

Mzee Kibor, who died aged 88, will be buried next to his late wife.

Already burial preparations are ongoing and multiple prominent politicians in the country are expected to attend.

Mzee Kibor made a name for various controversies among them a decision to file for divorce against his two long-time wives, on claims of cruelty and desertion – all of which he won.

It is however reported that he never received divorce certificates and that the move was only meant to teach the wives a lesson.

He also won a case against his sons – whom he had accused of demanding a share of his massive wealth.

But before his death, Mzee Jackson Kibor is said to have made peace with his sons and even shared his property with them – with each of them getting at least 200 acres of land, while his daughters were given at least 100 acres.
