A Nairobi court has barred late Kibra Member of Parliament Ken Okoth’s family members from cremating or burying the lawmaker pending hearing and determination of a case filed by Anne Muthoni Thumbi on behalf of a minor.
Ms. Thumbi – a Nairobi MCA – named the late legislator’s mother Angeline Okoth, his wife Monica Okoth as well as the Lee Funeral Home as respondents in the case.
The MCA moved to court claiming that the said minor is a biological son of the late legislator, adding that the family has unilaterally decided to have his body cremated so as to destroy any evidence of the minor’s lineage to the deceased.
“The mother and the wife (of the deceased) have deliberately and unfortunately opted to exclude me from the funeral and burial arrangements of Okoth,” claimed Ms. Thumbi
The court, while issuing the directive, stated that: “That in the interim a temporary injunction be and is hereby issued restraining the 1st and 2 defendant (Okoth’s mother and wife), either by themselves, their servants or agents from conducting the burial, interment, cremation and or in any manner whatsoever dispose of the body or remains of the late Mr. Ken Okoth pending the hearing and determination of the instant application interparties.”
The court further that the case will be heard on August 9, 2019 before Senior Principal Magistrate Hon. Obura.
i still don’t understand why any woman can spoil another woman’s marriage , kwani they don’t care about the kids and the shame …
Alafu this is the reason ‘nominated’ positions & women reps should be scrapped ! Si sasa mmeona what nominated women & women reps are for…

Maybe the lady who stopped the cremation was forced by circumstances.
Why are you targeting the women alone? it is the men who knowingly target the women for sex
People should resolve their issues before death or sickness comes.
This stopping funerals is just stupid.
she is an MCA
[SIZE=6]Women are the custodians of sex[/SIZE] …she could have turned the MP down simply by the fact that he was married . She was not a poor helpless market woman . When she opened her legs , she knew she was wrecking another woman’s marriage and family and now ana interfere na burrial …
… i would expect a parent to treat other pple’s children well simply coz they also have kids … anyways … it’s a cold cold world !
following the same logic should we also scrap the position of elected mp’s :)- lakini assuming the kid belongs to the late mp, we have 2 consenting adults who decided to have sex, and one of the consequences which I am sure both knew was that new being can come as a result of the same.
the eulogy given by the white wife said this
“there is nothing we haven’t forgiven each other”
be easy. mca ni mtiaji na mbuvi ni meffi
