The life and death of Nicholas Biwott has often been misreported but perhaps the most bizarre tale that has flooded the media is the assertion that the late former cabinet Minister will be buried in a gold, bullet proof coffin.

While the gold bit might pass, any right thinking member of the society would find it utterly unreasonable for a person to be buried in a bullet proof coffin.

Edit: Indeed, when photographs of the funeral procession were released, they demonstrated that Nicholas Biwott was, in fact, buried in a wooden casket.

It was undoubtedly an expensively drafted wooden casket but no, the ‘Total Man’ went under encased in wood.
