Drama and shock hit the family of Mzee Tonje in Mochongoi, Baringo county after retired Major Daudi Tonje obtained a court order barring the burial of their brother Shardack Kiptui Tonje.
Dorcas Jebet Tonje, a sister to the Tonje's, lamented that despite being on constant contact with the Rtd General on the fundraising and burial arrangements of their brother, who was involved in an accident, they were shocked to be served with a court order stopping the burial.
"We had even prepared food, slaughtered the cow and made deliberations of the send off for our brother, but the move shocked us to the core," she said.
She said that the move could be revolving around succession battles over land.
She accused their brother of taking advantage of the disability of the late to swindle him of his inheritance.
