Angry residents of Ziwa, Uasin Gishu County, have held protests to demand justice for former military officer David Muigei, who discovered recently that a death certificate was issued under his name and used to transfer ownership of his car.

Muigei’s neighbours, led by village elders, staged a demonstration along the Eldoret-Ziwa road to demand a probe into how an unknown person caused his death on October 12, 2023, while he was alive.

The villagers also demanded the release of the 68-year-old ex-soldier who is being remanded at Eldoret Prison following a confrontation with his estranged wife, which according to Muigei, was triggered by his persistent questioning of the death certificate, mysterious transfer of his vehicle's ownership and unauthorized caveat on his properties.
