The High Court in Eldoret has ordered that a dispute over the final resting place of a 65-year-old woman who died six months ago should be subjected to mediation.

Justice Reuben Nyakundi ordered the matter to be taken up by the Kalenjin Council of Elders commonly referred to as Myoot in order to seek an out-of-court settlement.
