A court has stopped the burial of the departed Matungu Constituency MP Justus Makokha Murunga.

This is after an alleged lover Agnes Wangui went to the court claiming that he had an affair with the late MP.

The court has now directed Wangui to serve the MP’s two wives with her papers, pending a haring on November 26.

Wangui had filed the case through lawyer Danstan Omari, claiming that Murunga is the father of her two children.

Wangui argues, in court documents, that they had been excluded from funeral arrangements and are now apprehensive that they may be left out in getting a share of the late legislator.

She had sought orders to stop any burial arrangements of the MP, until a DNA test is done to ascertain that he was indeed the real father of her two children.

Wangui in her case also wants to be recognized as the late MP’s wife, and also be allowed to attend the burial alongside her two children.

Her application was filed on Wednesday November 18, under a certificate of urgency.

Murunga died on Saturday night after collapsing at his rural home in Matungu.

He was rushed to a nearby health facility, which lacked oxygen that he was in need of, forcing his family to rush him to St Mary’s Mission Hospital in Mumias where he was pronounced dead.

The MP’s Death was attributed to Covid-19, but his family maintained that he was suffering from diabetes, and had been just discharged from Aga Khan Hospital in Kisumu, after being admitted for two weeks over diabetes.
