The daily reported that an application by a man claiming to be former president Mwai Kibaki’s biological son has been dismissed.
Nyeri High Court Judge Florence Muchemi said Jacob Ocholla’s plea to have Kibaki’s family disclose his estate has been overtaken by events because the children had accepted probate by filing a succession suit at the High Court’s Family Division in Milimani, Nairobi.
She ordered that the matter be heard instead at the Nairobi High Court because Ocholla has filed a response to the succession suit.
