A family from the Koroto sub-location in Baringo county is protesting a court ruling by Kabarnet Senior Resident Magistrate Paul Biwott on Wednesday.
The protest comes hours after the court ordered the exhumation of the body of their kin, Paul Kipchabas, who was buried next to a classroom in Koroto Primary School two weeks ago.
Speaking in Kabarnet town after the court made a ruling, the family members led by Jacob Cherop said that they were shocked by the court’s pronouncements because they were sure they owned the land.

A school in Baringo County has moved to court seeking orders compelling a family to exhume a body of their loved one buried in its compound.
Paul Kipchabas was buried in front of a classroom on the night of March 25 in what is shaping up as a major land dispute between the school and his family.
Koroto Primary School headteacher Zachariah Kipkebut moved to court seeking orders compelling Kipchabas’ widow Veronica Mengich and her son Kimator Ruto to find an alternative burial site as directed by the public health office.
