Garissa Senator Yusuf Haji was yesterday buried at the Lang ata cemetery in Nairobi, hours after his death.
Haji, 80, died at Aga Khan Hospital after a long illness. The long-serving politician and career civil servant had returned to the country a few days earlier from Turkey, where he was on treatment.
Mourners made their way to his residence tucked away on Riverside Drive in Nairobi, while others converged in Ijara, the constituency where the senator was born. He represented Ijara in the National Assembly for three terms.
