Two relatives faced off at the Eldoret High Court in the hearing of a succession case where the children of former Keiyo North MP William Murgor are fighting over his estate worth millions of shillings.

The late Murgor’s first born son, James, who is also the area MP, has been sued by his sisters and step-siblings for allegedly failing to equitably share their father’s vast estate that is spread across Elgeyo Marakwet and Uasin Gishu counties.
