Finally, the Umira Kager clan bites the dust

Wambui Otieno-Mbugua must be rolling all over the ground in laughter. When her husband, SM Otieno, died over two decades ago, the Umira Kager clan hired a hot-shot lawyer and fought to the Court of Appeal to prevent her from interring his remains at their Upper Matasia home.

The clansmen swore that a major curse would befall them if the top criminal lawyer was buried in an urban plot and not the land of his ancestors. They won the battle and averted what would easily have been the mother of all curses.
