Mama Angeline's sentiments came a few hours after relatives of the MP's late father stated that they wanted him to be buried beside his father in Kochai, Homa Bay.
The family spokesman Raymond Mbai told reporters that the family had been left out on planning the funeral.
"When someone dies he should be buried within his father’s home. In this case, the MP comes from Kochia and should be buried in Kochia," Mbai stated.
The MP's parents are said to have parted ways in the 80s and he went on to have other children while the legislator's mother returned to her parents in Kasipul.
