NTV News reporter Duncan Khaemba has revealed that late journalist Rita Tinina’s girl's club has hired a Range Rover hearse to escort her body to her home in Narok County.
Speaking on Monday, March 25 during Tinina’s requiem mass at the Holy Family Basilica, Khaemba who is the chairman of the former NTV journalist’s burial committee said Tinina and her four friends had planned a road trip in a Range Rover before her demise.
He noted that Tinina had requested to take leave in April to go for the trip with her friends among other things.
“The reason why Rita was taking leave among other things is that they had planned a road trip with her girl’s club in a Range Rover. So, the four friends Judy, QZ, Njambi, and Njeri, have asked the family they fulfill that part of the bargain and they have hired a Range Rover hearse so they will do that final road trip with Rita. Unfortunately, it will be from the morgue to the home,” Khaemba stated.
