Super Metro Chief Inspector Muturi addresses allegations of misappropriating funeral funds

Posted on by Ozymandias

Muturi Wa Super Metro, a key figure in organizing the burial of Gerald Mwangi, known as Makanga Bae, has spoken out in response to allegations regarding the handling of funeral contributions. During the burial service on October 23, Mwangi’s family publicly accused some organizers, including Muturi, of mismanaging funds intended for the funeral. The accusations led to heightened tensions, with the family claiming they had received none of the promised financial support for Mwangi’s burial.

Addressing the situation on TikTok on October 24, Muturi, who is also Super Metro’s Chief Inspector, detailed how the funds were utilized, strongly denying any misappropriation. He explained that the raised contributions were used to cover key expenses, including a hospital bill of over Sh600,000, of which the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) only covered bed charges. “I managed to secure a reduction of Sh358,000, leaving Sh212,000, which we managed to pay off through further fundraising,” Muturi clarified.

He also accused some family members of focusing more on financial gain than on proper arrangements for the send-off, noting that, in one instance, Mwangi’s mother allegedly took funds meant to cover a waived hospital bill. Muturi provided a breakdown of funeral costs, mentioning that Sh50,000 was agreed upon for a coffin, with flowers and the hearse bringing the total to over Sh70,000. Additionally, Sh80,000 was designated for catering at the service.

Muturi also addressed claims surrounding Sh200 contributions from matatu drivers and conductors, which totaled Sh63,000. He had authorized the funds to be given to Mwangi’s wife, Jeni. However, the family objected, claiming they didn’t recognize her as Mwangi’s wife. The chairperson then instructed that Sh63,000 be deducted from Muturi’s salary to give to the family, which was done. Jeni later returned the Sh63,000, insisting Muturi had already shown great support. Despite this, Muturi was met with further criticism from the family.

Muturi expressed frustration over the situation, saying, “I’ve been unfairly targeted for doing the right thing, but I won’t stop helping others.” He reiterated that all contributions had been responsibly allocated and emphasized his commitment to supporting those in need, despite the challenges.

Family Raises Complaints During Blame Game at Makanga Bae’s Burial [Video]

Posted on by Ozymandias

The funeral service for Gerald Mwangi, known as Makanga Bae, took a distressing turn on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, as family members publicly accused some organizers of mismanaging funds designated for his farewell.

Mwangi tragically passed away on the night of Thursday, October 10, after suffering injuries from a serious road accident.

As family members gathered to honor him, tensions escalated, with accusations regarding mishandled finances overshadowing the solemn occasion.

During the emotional service, a family member voiced their frustration, stating that Mwangi’s burial did not reflect the dignity they had wished to bestow upon him.

They lamented that what should have been a moment of respect had devolved into an upsetting spectacle.

“Everyone here has wronged us as a family; we didn’t want to bury our brother this way. Look at Gerald, how he’s been laid to rest—this isn’t right,” the family member expressed, conveying their dissatisfaction with the burial arrangements.

They further noted that the contributions made by Gerald’s friends were not adequately represented in the funeral preparations.

According to them, the service was meant to be a grand send-off worthy of Gerald’s legacy.

“We wanted to send Gerald off with honor, but there are issues with the contributions from his friends… it should have felt like paradise because this is Gerald’s final day on earth,” they added.

Friends insulted him

Gospel singer Kambua is squarely blaming Gerald’s friends for his death. She says his friends should have offered him advice instead of dismissing his suicide note.

“Just catching up on Gerald Mwangi’s story. After he posted a suicide note, his “friends” insulted him and offered quick ways for him to die. After he was found dead, the same people are sending their RIP’s. And have also become forensic experts. Saying how “this doesn’t add up”, ” wrote Kambua in part.

 

Depression tell-tale signs

Kambua further says that most people who commit suicide usually seem to be fine. She explains that the tell-tale signs of depression are sometimes hard for someone to notice, but stresses that people were supposed to take Gerald’s suicide note seriously since he had shown signs of depression.

“Many people who commit suicide seem “ok”. They go to work. They worship in Church. They post cool selfies. You can easily miss tell tale signs of a depressed person. If someone you care about says they’re depressed, why not just take it seriously? Threatening to commit suicide is a call for help.#mentalhealthmatters
Tonight i pray for anyone on the verge of giving up – dear God, breathe new life into them. Surround them with people who will listen and love on them,” wrote Kambua.
