A Government source said the house is being built in his honour for the distinguished services he rendered to the country. The workforce is drawn from Manyani Maximum Security, Wundanyi GK, Voi and Taveta Remand Prisons under the command of Assistant Commissioner of Prisons Khamisi Bakari. Mr Bakari is in-charge of Wundanyi GK Prisons. “The house must be completed before his burial, possibly this Saturday,” said the source. Before the tragedy, Nduguja had already bought building materials and was planning to take his annual leave this year to start construction of his house. Today, Taveta Deputy County Commissioner Charles Kamande said the Government was only providing labour.
