Where will Rex be buried?
He was emphatic that they were going to be there for their fallen son even though he was going to be buried in Machakos county.
“Gen Z, I will urge you to continue fighting for your parents. They have tried for many years but have not been able to do it. They have never done what you guys have shown us that you can do. We are doing this with you; we shall be pushing from behind,” he said.
“You are also fighting for the future generations behind you, so that when the time comes, they will find things in order,” he added.
