A Nairobi court has temporarily halted the removal and burial of the remains of Rosemary Chemutai Kimwatu, the late woman, without the participation of her husband, Kevin Migwe Kimwatu. Senior Principal Magistrate Agnes Mwangi issued interim orders on Friday, August 28, 2026, restraining KCB Bank Kenya Limited, its employees, and Rosemary's family from taking the deceased's remains from Lee Funeral Home.
The court also prohibited the respondents from interring or burying the deceased without Kevin's consent or participation. Magistrate Mwangi ordered an interim temporary injunction, preventing the respondents, their servants, agents, employees, and relatives from making any funeral arrangements or conducting the burial without Kevin's involvement pending the inter partes hearing.
The matter, filed by Kevin against KCB Bank Kenya Limited, Paul Kipkorir Koech, and three others, was deemed urgent by the magistrate. The respondents received notice of the application, with the case set for mention on August 31, 2026, for further directions.
