A fresh battle over former minister Mbiyu Koinange’s multi-billion shillings estate has landed at the Supreme Court. On Friday, the court certified an application challenging the inclusion of two women as beneficiaries of the late Koinange’s estate by the Court of Appeal, urgent.
The top court also stopped all proceedings at the High Court relating to division of the late Koinange’s estate estimated to be worth more than Sh17 billion until the application by his son George Kihara Mbiyu is determined. “Pending hearing and disposal of this matter, proceedings in the High Court over the succession case number 527 of 1981 shall rest in suspension,” ruled Justice Jacktone Ojwang.
