Lillian Ng’ang’a is shocked that several gays and lesbians skipped Edwin Chiloba’s funeral in Elgeyo Marakwet County.

The slain LGBTQ activist and model was laid to rest in his rural home on Tuesday, January 17, 2023.

Having lived as an openly gay, many expected that a majority of his friends from the homosexual community would attend Chiloba’s funeral.

Notably missing from the funeral were Michelle Ntalami, Njeri Makena, celebrity makeup artist Dennis Karuri among others in the LGBTQ community.

Many Kenyans questioned where the outspoken gays, lesbians were when local media outlets covered Chiloba’s sendoff.

Michelle Ntalami was also put to task to explain why she skipped Chiloba’s funeral.

“Where are those LGBTQ activists who claimed to be her friends? Makena Njeri, Michelle Ntalami, Dennis Karuri, Chiki Kuruka? It was all a gimmick to gain international sympathy?” Steven Starboy questioned.

Ntalami claimed that some of them in the LGBTQ community showed up and paid their respects in ways the public was not be privy to.

However, Lillian Ng’ang’a didn’t mince her words while criticizing those who claimed to know Chiloba yet they gave his funeral a wide berth.

“That the many people who posted how they knew Chiloba did not attend his send off shows how superficial friendships are and that family is all that matters,” Lillian Ng’ang’a wrote.
