Samson Akach is the Deputy County Commissioner of Suba West Sub-County in Homa Bay County, Kenya. Recently, he has been in the news for spearheading the introduction of strict vetting rules for men seeking to inherit widows in the region. This initiative aims to curb malpractice associated with widow inheritance, a traditional practice among the Abasuba and Luo communities, by establishing vetting committees to verify the identity and conduct of potential inheritors. Akach's efforts focus on protecting widows from exploitation and ensuring that the practice is conducted with accountability and respect for the deceased husband's lineage.
