A Nairobi magistrate has issued an injunction, halting the burial of late KCB Bank Group Head of Data Protection, Rosemary Koech Kimwatu. Her estranged husband, Kevin Migwe Kimwatu, is contesting the family's plans to handle her funeral. The court barred the removal of her remains from Lee Funeral Home and her burial without her husband's consent, pending further proceedings.

The matter was directed for a mention on August 31, with all respondents required to be served. Koech, 40, died by suicide on August 21, according to an autopsy. The dispute involves KCB Bank's involvement, as they listed her sister and son as her next of kin based on employment records.
