Sammy Ndunda’s daughter shared insights into his health struggles, particularly concerning his chest problems, which he frequently complained about.
“He’s my father. From the time I’ve lived with him all these years, the problem was just his chest. Sometimes he complained about it. Before his death, I received a call that he was unwell.

Reflecting on the news of his father’s illness and subsequent demise, Samuel Ndinda’s son recalled receiving a phone call late Saturday night about his father’s health. Due to heavy rain, he couldn’t visit until the next morning, when he received the devastating news of his passing.
“I received a call on Saturday night informing me that my father was unwell. Due to the heavy rain, I couldn’t go to his house. The next morning when I opened my phone, I received the bad news. I went and found it to be true. Together with my cousin, we organized to take his body to the City Mortuary,” the son stated.
Regarding burial arrangements, Ndinda’s daughter disclosed that conflicts with other family members over ancestral land compelled them to choose Lang’ata Cemetery for his final resting place.
“The land where our home is located, and traditionally used for burials, is entangled in legal disputes with other family members. This issue prevents us from burying him at our ancestral land. I discussed with our family members, including my aunt, and we decided it’s better to lay him to rest at Lang’ata Cemetery to avoid further complications,” she explained.
