The Eldoret High Court will today determine whether the contested will by the late prominent Uasin Gishu politician cum farmer Jackson Kibor should be subjected to a forensic examination expert to determine the validity of the document.

The disputed will has caused a rift in the late tycoons family with some disgruntled family members challenging the validity of the document while the deceased’s youngest wife, Eunita Kibor maintains it is valid.

Through their team of ten lawyers among them Ken Maiyo and Nixon Koitui, the 29 objectors, had asked the court to make a ruling on the authenticity of the contested Will purported to have been drafted and signed by their late father before his demise.

Maiyo brought to the attention of the court that one of the parties in the disputed Will has refused to comply with the court orders which barred her from interfering, misusing or disposing of some of the assets left behind by the late tycoon until the issue of the disputed Will is heard and determined.
Will validity

The late Kibor’s children and his two widows have challenged the validity of his will in court and want the court to issue orders preserving the deceased’s Sh16 billion vast estates before any distribution if done.
Before his death, the late Kibor had appointed Eldoret based lawyer Bundotich Korir and Eunita as the executors of his will.

In the application, the objectors say they believe the signature in the document was a forgery and want the document to be subjected to a forensic examination expert to settle the matter once and for all.

The objectors further want Eunita to be restrained from transferring, disposing, meddling or appropriating any part of their late father’s wealth which they have been tussling over since he died last year.

The deceased is survived by three widows Josephine, Naomi and Eunita while his first wife Mary died two decades ago.

He left a vast estate including real estate, bank deposits, thousands of acres of agricultural in Uasin Gishu, Trans Nzoia and Nakuru counties.
