{UAH} Row erupts on where to bury fallen Kenyan MP, Ken Okoth

Folks;

Between the deaths of Kenya's politicians, Gov. Laboso of Narok, and Kibra MP, Ken Okoth, I'd feared that Laboso's burial place would be disputed between her marital Luo family, and her Kipsigis ancestral kins. 

I was wrong, because it's Okoth's resting place that is tearing apart his varied families. 

Because his parents divorced when he was barely five years old, each parent's side now claims his body. In the meantime, his wife, a white woman, wants the body cremated, presumably so she may save some of the ashes for memory.

Not to be left out is a Nairobi Ward Rep, who now says she had a child with Okoth; wants to be included in any plans about his burial!

Going by prevailing cultural norms, Okoth will be buried at his father's home.
