KTN NEWS reports that the family of the late former Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo has moved to court to begin the formal process of administering his estate several months after his death.

Court documents indicate that Jirongo left an estate valued at approximately KSh 1 billion, but faced debts estimated at KSh 3 billion, creating a complex financial situation for his heirs.

The succession case is expected to determine how his assets and liabilities will be handled, amid a dispute involving his wives and children over the administration and distribution of the estate.

A heartbroken mother and father sat helplessly in front of the small caskets of their two young babies, Prince Njenga and Kylan Ngila, during their burial on Friday, August 28, 2026, at the Njiku Cemetery (Mbari ya Njiku) in Mutuini, Dagoretti South.

Prince and his younger brother Kylan tragically lost their lives in a devastating house fire that broke out at their family home in the Njiku Cemetery area of Kirigu, Mutuini.

Their father, Joseph, routinely left his two sons under the protective care of his cousin, Winnie Muthoni, while he went to work to provide for his family. Tragically, it is alleged that the house had been locked from the outside with a padlock. When the fire broke out, everyone inside was completely trapped with absolutely no way to escape the raging flames.

Four family members; Prince, Kylan, their aunt Winnie Muthoni, and her young daughter Kyla, perished together that fateful night.

Court documents reveal that Rosemary Chemutai Koech-Kimwatu did not list her husband, Kevin Migwe Kimwatu, as her next of kin in her official employment records at KCB Bank.

Instead, her official workplace records listed two individuals as her next of kin: Her sister, Judy Koech-Oyamo, and her eldest son, Charles Migwe Kimwatu.

According to court filings, this information came as a complete surprise to her husband. He only discovered it on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, when he went to Lee Funeral Home to follow up on the burial arrangements.

The mortuary management presented him with an official KCB Bank letter dated August 25. Signed by the bank's Head of Shared Services, Risk, Compliance, and Governance, the letter strictly authorized her sister and son to collect her remains based on those employment files.

This discovery is what directly prompted the husband to rush to court to block the funeral, arguing that a corporate next-of-kin form does not strip a legal spouse of their burial rights under Kenyan law.

In court documents, Kevin Migwe Kimwatu, the husband of late Rosemary Chemutai Koech-Kimwatu, claims that since his wife's passing on August 21, 2026, her parents, Paul and Beatrice Koech, and sister, Judy Koech-Oyamo, completely shut him out of all funeral committees and planning sessions.

In the lawsuit filed at the Milimani Commercial Magistrate's Court, Kevin asserts that as her legal husband of 13 years, having married at St. Austin's Catholic Church in 2013, and the father of their four children, he has the fundamental right to lead and make decisions regarding her final rites.

The central conflict centers around her final resting place. Rosemary’s biological family planned to bury her at her parents' estate in Chepseon, Kericho County. Kimwatu strongly objects to this, demanding that his wife be buried at his own ancestral family home located in Matasia, Ngong (Kajiado County).

He directed a major grievance at Rosemary's employer, KCB Bank Kenya Limited, saying that he was shocked to discover that KCB had written an official letter to Lee Funeral Home instructing the mortuary to release her remains exclusively to her sister and her eldest son, based on internal corporate next-of-kin records.

His lawyers argue that KCB Bank unlawfully inserted itself into a private family matter. They assert that no law, including the Employment Act or the Law of Succession Act, gives an employer the right or jurisdiction to dictate the disposal of a deceased employee's body.

While Kimwatu admitted in his court affidavits that their marriage had faced difficulties, he argues that those challenges did not invalidate their legal marriage or diminish his marital right to lay his wife to rest.

The omission aligns with statements provided by her family to investigators. They noted that the couple had been experiencing deep domestic and financial strain, leading to a four-month separation before her tragic passing.

While the husband maintains in his affidavits that they had recently reconciled and she was planning to return home, the unchanged corporate records have become the focal point of the entire legal standoff.

The court granted Kevin multiple protective interim orders. Senior Principal Magistrate Agnes Mwangi certified his application as urgent on Friday, August 28, 2026, and issued strict temporary injunctions targeting her family, her employer, and the mortuary.

The court strictly barred her parents, siblings, relatives, or any agents from interring or burying her body without the husband's consent and direct involvement.
