Deceased Woman Refuses To Be Buried Over Her Unpaid Dowry

Mildred Makhoha, a 19 year old woman who is said to have died from pregnancy complications refused to be taken home for burial in what the village elders termed as “unhappiness over her unpaid dowry”

The body had been removed from  St. Mary’s Mumias hospital mortuary for burial in her home in Makunga, Navakholo sub-county when the vehicle suddenly stopped not to move again.

Mechanics came to check the vehicle hoping to let it move and give the departed an honourable ride but unfortunately, they could not find any problem with the vehicle. It was then that the village elders concluded that the departed was not happy  over her unpaid dowry.

A group of village elders were then  called upon to talk to the deceased agreeing on how and when the dowry will be paid that finally saw the deceased agree to leave for home for her burial.
