The husband of Rosemary Koech, a former senior executive at KCB, has stated that he will not seek to exhumate his wife's body. Through his lawyer, Kevin Kimwatu, he has opted to withdraw his case against Koech's in-laws. Kimwatu's lawyer informed the court that despite the possibility of exhumation, he chose to leave the circumstances surrounding his wife's burial to God.
Instead of pursuing contempt proceedings, Kimwatu's lawyer stated that withdrawing the case is a step towards reconciliation between the two families. The dispute between the families had been emotionally challenging for all involved. Rosemary Koech, who served as head of data protection at KCB's risk division, died by suicide on August 21 at the age of 40.
Her death followed a strained relationship with her husband, Kevin Kimwatu. Initially, a court had temporarily halted the burial and prevented it from taking place until the outcome of the case filed by Koech's husband was determined. However, the burial proceeded on August 25 in Kericho County, adhering to the Kalenjin cultural practices.
