Singer Esther Akoth aka Akothee has addressed the standoff between her and other artistes over the burial of the Queen of Ohangla Lady Maureen who died last Saturday.
In a long post, Akothee mentioned that she had pledged to take care of Lady Maureen’s coffin, hearse and her last respect cloths, but along the ways she was informed that the Coffin had been bought.
She mentioned that she was being accused of insisting on buying Lady Maureen’s coffin and refusing to take other responsibilities apart from what she had pledged earlier.

I then asked her ,how about any contribution, she said nothing up until now,

I will send my mom to come meet her in Migori and choose a coffin of her choice then my mom will pay for it ,as burial is friday 🙏🏾,
I had ordered her dress from @@brandme_kenya, which was ready and should be sent by today 🙏🏾
My mom arrived in Migori ZAODONE, where I had sent her to go choose seats of her choice ,since the once I bought her is about 4 years now, and since I am changing my own, my mom should also feel knew 🙏🏾
My mom then calls me and says ( jogi nigi coffins mabeyo bende Sanaa, but min Mourine tuo , should I send you some photos you choose ?) I said No ,dont send me ,since my grandfather passed on, I never want to see a coffin, just call min Mourine to come choose coffin that suits her daughter🙏🏾. My mom then took my dad for lunch , as she was waiting for lady MOURINEs family to get back to her . Then is when Jalango called me & I received the news of being accused of the above 😭😭😭🙆♂️🙆♂️🙆♂️
