A widow to the late Ronald Ngala will be buried this weekend in Kilfi county.

Esther Mwenda Ngala, mother to former cabinet minister Katana Ngala, will be buried  tomorrow next to her late husband's grave who died 50 years ago.

The body will leave Mombasa hospital on the same day at 8 am for burial and no burial service will be held in Mombasa county.

Katana said her mother, aged 90, will be buried beside his late father's grave at Vishatani village in Kaloleni constituency.

He said the burial will be conducted with a limited number of people in line with government directives due to the corona virus.

"The burial service will be held at the burial site on the material  day before 2 pm," he pointed out.

The former cabinet minister during the KANU regime told journalists they will abide by public health guidelines on physical distancing and no gatherings.

He said as the family itself would be a crowd only a few members will be allowed at the burial ceremony.

"Our mother had children, grand children and great grand children which is a big family," he pointed out.

Meanwhile the death of Ngala 50 years ago still remains a mystery to the leadership of the coast region.

Since his death the family through their late mother had petitioned the government to establish who was behind it.

The late Ngala was the region's king pin during the era of the founder of the nation the late Mzee  Jomo Kenyatta.
