Led by Nyandiko Ongadi, the leader of a splinter group of the Luo Council of Elders, the team said Monica needs to be inherited as per the traditions of the community. 

Ongadi said Monica can be inherited by any of Okoth's elder brothers, who would then construct her house.

"If any of the brothers is not interested, any relative of the MP can fulfill the cultural right by inheriting the wife," he said as quoted by Nation.

He suggested that Monica should visit the home of the late lawmaker to perform some rituals, considering that Okoth's body was cremated.

At the event, Ongadi said all family members ought to be present.

"When a body is not buried, a banana stem is buried to symbolise the same. All family members should be present at that ceremony," Mr Ongadi said, as quoted by  Nation.

Okoth succumbed to cancer last month, and was cremated over the weekend at a private function in Nairobi.
