Seven days after the death of former Lands Commissioner Elisha Chebii Chesiyna, grief within his family quickly turned into a bitter court battle over where he should be buried.

What began as a disagreement over funeral arrangements and burial site would later expose deep divisions within the family, claims of exclusion, accusations of greed, and an explosive succession dispute over an estate valued at more than Sh600 million.

Nearly six years later, the succession dispute surrounding the former lands commissioner’s estate remains one of the most bitter family inheritance battles to emerge in Nakuru.
