Traditionally the elders of the clan should have been the first to view the body of the deceased and it was for a particular reason.
The elders were to meticulously scan his facial impression to see whether the deceased is hurting in death or has rested at peace.

If the deceased was seen to be hurting then they would know that either he was killed or has died but had pending issues That were disturbing him and should be sorted first before his burial.
So the clan elders would go out and declare to the rest of the family what they have seen, thell then prepare the requecite medication to deal with either the killer or sort the pending issues eg land border dispute.

But if the facial expressions on the deceased body were calm, they would be happy that the deceased is at peace.

After Scanning Jakom’s face as an Elder from Bakhavi clan,Samia People Neighbours to the Sakwa clan of the Luo, I hereby declare Raila Amollo Odinga son to Jaramogi Odinga is at PEACE and very ready for interment.

Jakom RIP.
