Papa Shirandula deserved a state funeral

The brief send-off came after the Kenya Films and Classification Board CEO, Ezekiel Mutua cited that Papa deserves a state burial.

Ezekiel Mutua described Papa Shirandula as an effortlessly humorous man. As a result, he unraveled joy and laughter without being vulgar.

Nyaminde, also known as Wilbroda on papa’s show also mourned and eulogized the actor.

“I blame Karen hospital”

Papa was announced to have succumbed to COVID 19. But his wife thought otherwise. The father of three had isolated himself at home a week before the condition worsened.

However, Papa Shirandula’s wife, Beatrice Bukeko condemned Karen hospital for carelessness. She said that Papa Shirandula died in the car as she scurried to get him admitted.

She also added that the hospital only performed a COVID 19 test. And ignored other possibilities such as pneumonia and malaria.

COVID-19 is manageable. Papa was supposed to undergo three tests: coronavirus, pneumonia, and malaria. When I asked the doctors whether they did all three, they said no. I asked them why they only focused on COVID-19 while he could also be suffering from something else.

Stated Beatrice Bukeko

Papa was survived by his wife and three children.
