On Saturday morning, the remains of former Kibra MP Ken Okoth were cremated at a private ceremony in Nairobi's Kariokor crematorium, as per his wishes.
The ceremony came after a court settlement was reached between Okoth's family and nominated MCA Anne Thumbi, who had alleged she had a son with the late MP.
The cremation process took roughly one and a half hours, according to an attendant at the crematorium.
Only close family members attended the ceremony, which was carried out in accordance with Okoth's wishes and in the presence of his family.
Okoth's death last Friday at The Nairobi Hospital marked the end of a long battle with cancer.
The ODM party tweeted that Okoth's remains had been cremated in the morning, in accordance with his wishes and in the presence of his family.
