Kibor's body moved to morgue as family meets at his home

Jackson Kibor's body has been moved to the Eldoret Hospital morgue ahead of his burial.

His daughter Loyce Kibor says the family will meet at his Kabenes home near Ziwa in Uasin Gishu County to plan for his burial.

"We will shortly meet as a family and issue a statement on the demise of Mzee," said Loyce, who once contested for the woman representative seat in Uasin Gishu in 2017.

Kibor died Wednesday night at St Luke's hospital in Eldoret. He died at the age of 89 years.

During an interview with the Star, Kibor had said he wished to be buried next to his wife's grave.

"I loved her (Esther Kibor) so much and she was the foundation of my life," said Kibor during the interview.

Kibor married four wives - one died. He had 26 children, including 16 boys.

Kibor's second wife Josphine also confirmed the death of her husband.

She was divorced by Mzee Kibor after 52 years of marriage but the old man gave her part of his land at Kipkabus.

Kibor had cited cruelty and denied conjugal rights as part of the reasons for the divorce.

The third wife Naomi was also divorced by Kibor after over 25 years of marriage.

Kibor's fourth wife Yunita had three children with him.

For the last two years, Kibor has mostly lived at his daughter's home in Eldoret.

"We thank God for his life and pray that he rests in peace", Loyce said.
