The High Court has rejected a petition to prevent the burial of former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, which was set to occur within 72 hours. Justice Chacha Mwita ruled that the petitioner, Michael Otieno, failed to demonstrate the urgency or that the burial plans contradicted Odinga's wishes.

• The High Court dismissed the petition challenging the 72-hour burial plan for Raila Odinga.
• The petitioner, Michael Otieno, argued that the burial would violate Luo customs and traditions, and that there was no witness corroborating Odinga's wishes.
• The burial committee, chaired by Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, had announced the prompt burial would adhere to Raila's wishes.
