Ken Okoth's cremation has been put on hold following a court application by Ann Muthoni Thumbi, who claims to be the late Kibra MP's second wife.
Thumbi is seeking to have her son recognized as Okoth's official heir before his cremation, citing exclusion from the burial arrangements.
On August 1, 2019, the court issued a temporary injunction restraining Okoth's family and others from cremating his body pending a hearing and determination of the case.
Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has faulted Thumbi for not respecting Okoth's memory, suggesting that the matter could be resolved amicably.
