Tension is high in the family of the late IFC Kocholya Pastor Jacob Sudi, following a disagreement over his final resting place.
His wife and children are reportedly insisting that he be buried at his Kocholia residence , a place he called home in recent years, and as per his will.
However, the deceased brothers have opposed the plan, arguing that the late pastor should be laid to rest at his father’s ancestral land at Dulienge in Bukhayo North/Walatsi, in line with family tradition.
Relatives close to the matter have revealed that whichever venue is finally chosen, the opposing side is likely to skip the burial ceremony.
Community elders and church leaders are said to be mediating to ensure harmony prevails ahead of the burial.
Pastor Sudi died over 10 days ago in his house in Kocholia, Teso North Sub county, after developing breathing difficulties.
The church’s Kakamega Archbishop Raphael Buluma is expected today to arbitrate in a bid to end long-standing dispute that is threatening the tear the family asunder ahead of November 7 burial.
