  • A rare woman but even more a rare Kenyan she was. So unlike many greedy racist Kenyans. She was completely different as she actually did things to help not like other Kenyans who just steal and destroy.

  • Am sure she would have loved a very simple burial, but i hope they will plant trees instead of laying wreaths. RIP Wangari, you were and continue to be an inspiration to the African girl/woman.

  • @heshima9 you got it right heshima9 there is no need of arguing with such minds you will get nowhere.

  • we should have honored you more in Life than in death W.M, R.I.P

  • we need more women like her the world will be a better place.your legacy lives on R.I.P

  • @karuitha if you hear about Raila next time jst kill ya self,I don't like Raila too, but talking evil about him most of da time doesn't help anybody,unless wewe ni mjinga kimaumbile.

  • @karuitha oh ye men of little minds! i wonder what u look like.

  • So after all Raila was consulted? I was expecting him to come out opposing the idea cos he may not have been consulted. Will be invited to the funeral?

  • So Raila was consulted on a state funeral for Wangare. I was expecting to see him and his ODM chums coming out against the idea just because he was not consulted. Aberdare forest should be renamed Wangare Maathai forest.
