Former Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale has excited his fans after sharing a video of his bull giving a fitting send off to a man.
In the video, the bull appears to be wailing as it spreads soil on the grave using its head, as residents cheer it on.
According to Khalwale, the bull is named Malinya, and talked more of the experience:
Professors & Doctors of Medicine couldn’t believe it when one of their own, Dr Jacob Maleche was today buried by my bull Malinya in Bushiangala in Ikolomani...

Sounds crazy right Here are comments from twitter users:
Bambi Wa'Agripina...Love him or hate him, you just have to find this guy Boni interesting. Despite his high level of education,exposure, and his position on the social ladder, he will always amaze you by how easily & smoothly he fits & blends with his tribe mates in matters traditional and cultural.
Jaluo Mzungu...Dr. AKhalwale, the spirits of Nabongo lives in you. This is amazing.
Patrick Khayimba....The Luhya way of death :That's how a hero is buried. R. I. P Dr. Maleche
I like this. I think it's healthy and helps drown the tears of the bereaved. @zainakoech the fathers of our land need to borrow this
Joseph ....Kamachina 😂😂 @KBonimtetezi Nice send off to our hero may his soul rest in peace. I remember attending to me while young at kakamega Nursing home. The society truly requires such kind people with great professions.
