A 74-year-old man has caused panic at Mbombo ya Reli village after he constructed his own graveyard, scripted his 3-page eulogy, and made a portrait that will be put on his casket .
Simon Karanja Waweru says he decided to make his own grave, so as to reduce expenses and inconveniences to the relatives when he dies.
Mzee Karanja also prohibits anyone from crying or praising him once he dies, as is a norm with the African culture of praising the dead.
Karanja spends most of his time with a bare chest - no shirt, as he goes along with his daily chores, with no respect to change of weather.
His wife has been against this idea all along.
