widow to obey the court orders-
Eunita Jelimo, the youthful fourth wife of former prominent Eldoret farmer cum politician Jackson Kibor in Eldoret High Court.
Eunita Jelimo, the youthful fourth wife of former prominent Eldoret
farmer cum politician Jackson Kibor risks a jail term after the High
Court cited her for alleged interference in the multi-billion
shillings movable and immovable property left behind by the deceased.
While issuing the warning, Justice Reuben Nyakundi told the tycoon’s
widow to obey the court orders which were issued on December 19th 2022
barring her from disposing off any of the deceased’s estate that is
spread in Rift Valley, Coast and Nairobi regions.
“It has come to the court’s attention that there has been
inter-meddling of the deceased estate by you and let that stop lest
doing so will land you in jail,” warned Justice Nyakundi.
He told the widow not to abuse the task bestowed upon her as one of
the administrators of the tycoon’s estate to start misappropriating
his property before being granted permission to do so.
“I am constrained to make a finding that whatever you are doing, if
found true, it amounts to inter-meddling in the estate of the
deceased,” added Justice Nyakundi.
This was after lawyer Ken Maiyo who is representing some of the late
Kibor’s sons and daughters brought to the attention of the Judge over
contempt of his orders by the youngest wife touching on the property
of the tycoon.
“Your lordship, the preservatory orders you issued on December 2022
touching on the late Kibor’s estate have been disobeyed by the
administrator in this matter and we need your intervention,” said
Lawyer Maiyo.
Some of the late tycoon’s property that are said to have been disposed
off by the administrator despite the existing court order barring the
move, include tractors, motor vehicles and withdrawals of huge sums of
money from various bank accounts that were held in the name of the
late tycoon.
Maiyo argued that the tycoon’s estate risks being wasted unless the
conservatory orders are obeyed by the deceased’s youngest wife.
He told the court that it was unfair for Eunita to continue
interfering with the property of her late husband, and yet the estate
and will are still the subject of the court fight.
The late controversial politician is said to have named his fourth
wife and lawyer Jonah Keter as administrators of his Will which is at
the center of controversy at the High Court.
He died early last year at one of the top private hospitals in Eldoret
town at the age of 80 after a long battle with illness.
The late Kibor’s 27 children have ganged up against his youngest wife
claiming that the Will is questionable and does not reflect the wishes
of their late father.
The aggrieved children, in their application filed in court want a
review of the disputed will which they describe as forgery.
This was after the late Kibor’s surviving two wives and children filed
an objection to the will being adopted in its form.
According to the court documents the 27 children are listed as
objectors to the Will which was released last year to the family soon
after he passed away on March 16, 2022.
Justice Nyakundi ruled that the matter in contempt of his order against
inter-meddling of the late tycoon’s estate be heard on September 22.
