KCB executive Rosemary Chemutai buried at night despite court order

The burial was carried out after the family proceeded with the funeral arrangements, with reports indicating that the court order had not been served on them before the interment.

The late KCB Bank executive Rosemary Chemutai Koech-Kimwatu was buried at her parents' home in Chepseon, Kericho County, despite a court order issued hours earlier that prohibited her burial without the involvement and consent of her husband, Kevin Migwe Kimwatu. The dispute over her final resting place shifted to the courts, with the parties expected to return to the Milimani Commercial Magistrate’s Court on Monday, August 31, despite her burial.

The development occurred just hours after Senior Principal Magistrate Agnes Mwangi certified Kimwatu's urgent application and issued interim orders restraining Rosemary's family, KCB Bank, and other parties from removing her remains from Lee Funeral Home or proceeding with her burial without his consent.
