 According to Wambui, this was because he felt his brother and clan would contest a will and possibly overturn it, whereas an intestacy might offer better protection for her and their children.Soon after Otieno’s death, Wambui announced that he would be buried on 3 January 1987 at a small farm the couple owned on the outskirts of Nairobi, according to what she said was his wish.This was challenged by his brother, Joash Ochieng Ougo, who was his closest adult-male blood relation (as Otieno’s sons were juveniles), and Omolo Siranga, the Nairobi representative of the Umira Kager clan.
