Elderly man takes himself to ‘SAYUNI’ after disagreement with his wife in Nandi South - Buried like an animal

Friday, April 3, 2026 - A family in Nandi South is mourning the tragic death of Isaac Morogo, a former Telkom Kenya employee, who reportedly died by suicide following a domestic disagreement.

According to a heartfelt social media post by a close friend and former colleague, Morogo was a dedicated and hardworking individual who began his career as a technician trainee at the defunct Kenya Posts and Telecommunications Corporation (KPTC) in the early 1990s.

After years of service, Morogo took early retirement from Telkom Kenya and ventured into farming while also investing in rental housing.

Friends say he maintained a quiet and steady life and remained in touch with many of his former colleagues.

The two last met in 2022 along the Kakamega-Kisumu route, where they shared a meal and caught up.

According to the friend, Morogo appeared to be in good spirits, with no visible signs of distress.

Reports indicate that the deceased had a major disagreement with his wife shortly before his death, though details surrounding the incident remain unclear.

His sudden passing has left friends and family in shock, with many questioning what could have led to such a drastic decision.

The deceased’s colleague expressed pain over what he termed as the lack of a dignified send-off.

According to cultural practices within the Terik community, individuals who die by suicide are traditionally buried without formal funeral rites.
