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.

Baringo Senator Gideon Moi has called upon political leaders to respect President Uhuru Kenyatta.
He said this while on a tour of Faza Island in Lamu East Constituency in Lamu County, where he was on a Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) popularisation campaign.
“Let all Kenyans respect President Uhuru Kenyatta. He is the President till August 2022 and when he leaves, whoever will be elected will also want to be respected,’’ said Moi.
Moi said the benefits of BBI to Lamu East residents are many and therefore asked them to support it.
