Bishop Ben Bahati Laid To Rest Finally (Photos)

Bishop Ben Bahati, who many regard as the father of gospel music in Kenya, was finally laid to rest on Saturday at his home in Kakamega.

Bishop Ben Bahati succumbed to injuries sustained after he was involved i a grisly road carnage in Burnt Forest a few months ago.

After the accident, he was admitted in Nairobi hospital’s ICU where he lost his battle to the injuries.

The Bishop who mentored many gospel artists in Kenya including Rufftone and his brother Daddy Owen, was held in high esteem among Christians in Kenya and has left behind a flock he led in Eldoret.

During his send off, among dignitaries present were former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and senators Moses Wetangula and Dr. Bonny Khalwale.

Here are some of the scenes from his send off:
