Mr. Karume is a senior citizen and i think he deserves it ... There's also talk of dedan kimathi being given a state funeral... some people have contribute quite allot to this nation and deserve respect and honor even at the grave !

Thuo has moved to court to stop the burial until samples for DNAtesting are taken from the body. Another Kirima case in the making?

Amazingly the thing that I remember most about this mzee, was a quip he made in passing while addressing a group of usual Kenyans ' mimi sijui wanasabu aje mamirrioni! sisi tulikuwa tunasabu ma mia. Hii maneno ya mirrioni nimesikia juzi tu. ' ( circa 2002). Looking back I think it was very genuine and apt for the day. He was basically saying most flashy guys are stealing in the country and you can only make genuine wealth by counting hundreds ( pennies)... That comment taken together with what Michuki's (RIP) comment to the journalist 'Kijana you must be very rich to drink in the afternoon' gives a clear hint how they valued hardwork and genuine wealth not riches..Yet we are so surprised that they were that wealthy.In fact, if that is how to make wealth, then I fear for my 'quick buck deal' generation. I have learnt a lot from these two fellows. RIP I Think Therefore I Am

Huyu mzee nikama mali yake itamalizwa na hawa trustees. They clearly were not his friends but just hungry hyenas. Isnt Gatabaki already rich? 100K per sitting is madness. For a friend, you should be taking just your cost of transport and meals if at all. 5K should be more than enough. https://mobile.nation.co...em-1-50kr94z/index.html
Quote:Court documents show a troubled estate that is no longer paying its bills. In some instances, the trustees are borrowing from law firms to settle bills, barely six years after they took over management of the multi-million estate.
Last year, for instance, the Karume trust paid Jacaranda Holdings Sh37 million of the sales proceeds to settle PAYE and VAT arrears.
The trustees used Sh4.1 million on education of beneficiaries and Sh8 million on medical expenses of the beneficiaries.
Mr Warieri, who chairs the trust and his co-trustee Mr Gatabaki pocketed Sh19.6 million in responsibility allowances for the period beginning March 2015 to December 2017.
A further Sh17 million went into payment of the trustees’ sitting allowances, which accrues at the rate of Sh100, 000 per sitting.
The trust paid Sh18 million in accountancy fees and professional fees for valuation of the Njenga Karume Trust.
Three law firms were paid Sh29 million in legal fees and monthly retainers while Sh39 million was paid to the beneficiaries as grants.
The Karume children have accused the trustees of neglecting the beneficiaries, failing to settle fees or provide maintenance.
They further accuse the trustees of failing to promote maintenance, education and advancement in life of beneficiaries, which is the sole objective of the trust.
Karume had initially appointed Court of Appeal judge Paul Kihara Kariuki as chairman of the Trust but he resigned shortly after the demise of the former minister.
“After the resignation of Justice Paul Kihara Kariuki as a trustee of the Njenga Karume Trust, the then or existing trustees of the Njenga Karume Trust failed to adhere to the intention and wishes of the founder by refusing to consider any of the beneficiaries of the Trust. All my friends are heathens, take it slow. Wait for them to ask you who you know. Please don't make any sudden moves.

But Karume handed the wealth to "Trustees" one member being Kungu Gatabaki, so really who is misusing this wealth? "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore
