Papa Shirandula’s widow speaks
Unfortunately, what transpired during the event is what Papa’s widow, Beatrice Andega revealed through her eulogy.
The heartbroken mother of three blamed Karen Hospital for negligence of her late husband, back when they still had the chance to save his life but did not.
Beatrice revealed she rushed Papa to the medical facility on the fateful day, waited with Papa in the car while awaiting his admission procedures.
Sadly, Papa lost time and breathed his last inside the car. She shared:
Papa was supposed to undergo three tests; coronavirus, pneumonia and malaria. When I asked the doctors whether they did all three, they said no.

She failed to understand why the medical staff ignored other possibilities that eventually saw her husband succumb.
I asked them why they only focused on Covid-19 while he could also be suffering from something else. I wish they did everything for him, but it has happened.
Fellow comedians, friends and family of the late Papa were in attendance to pay their last respects.
