The court has ordered that Kibra MP Ken Okoth's funeral will continue after the family entered a consent to have DNA samples taken in row over his alleged child.
Dunstan Omari, the lawyer representing MCA Anne Muthoni, the reported secret lover, stated that both parties engaged in midnight talks that were spearheaded by Opposition leader Raila Odinga.
He added that by 4 pm on Friday, DNA samples will be taken from Okoth's body and both parties would provide their own pathologists.
"The cremation of the body will proceed as planned but after DNA samples are picked from the body of the late Hon. Ken Okoth at Lee Funeral Home. We have not slept. We have today filed a consent," Omari remarked.
Omari also noted that this was purely a family matter, adding there was no dispute in the manner of disposing of the body.
He added that there was no property dispute.
The court also ruled that the child would participate in the funeral program.
“The pathologist will provide the methodologies to be used as we await the results of the DNA test,” he disclosed.
Omari divulged that Ms Thumbi had no intention of stopping Okoth's funeral as she loved him dearly.
