Saturday,
May 10, 2025 - Veteran
football tactician and Radio Jambo presenter, Jacob 'Ghost' Mulee, has become
the latest media personality to weigh into the cremation debate.
In a candid moment on the popular Patanisho segment alongside co-host, Joseph 'Gidi' Ogidi, Ghost
openly declared that he has already informed his family that he wants to be
cremated when he dies.
“Ghost Mulee, did you say you would like to be cremated if
you die?”
“If you die tomorrow, you want us to cremate you?” his
fellow presenter, Gidi, asked.
“Yes, that was my original plan. But the other day, when I
went to Ukambani, the elders called me to a meeting and asked me, ‘Young man,
do you want to be cremated?”
“Have you become meat?” and they told me “we have been
hearing you on Gidi and Ghost saying you want to be cremated”
“But I still haven’t changed my mind, in case I depart this
world today, please cremate me yet,” Ghost said with a chuckle.
While his humorous delivery had listeners laughing, Ghost's
stance speaks to a growing shift in how urban Kenyans view death and burial
rites.
Last month, Classic 105's Maina Kageni echoed the same
sentiment, citing land scarcity and the overcrowding crisis at Lang’ata
Cemetery.
“I’ll be cremated. It’s in my will. We need to let go of
some of this ‘Africanness,’” Maina said.
As more public figures speak out, the conversation around
end-of-life wishes is becoming less taboo, and more a matter of personal
choice.
