APPLICANT AND PETER GITURO KAMAU ................................................................. RESPONDENT RULING 1. The parties herein appeared before me wrangling on an essentially concluded matter. The administrator does not appear to understand his role. I am satisfied that he has not administered the estate. 2. It is fair to exercise my discretion in order to facilitate the administration. It appears that Johnson Kamau is claiming ownership as opposed to being an administrator. The other administrator is demonstrably sick. I therefore revoke the grant and retire the current administrator. In lieu thereof I issue a fresh grant to Eddah Nyaguthi Kamau ID No. xxxxxx as the sole administrator of the estate of the deceased herein. 3. The new administrator to ensure that the estate is divided equally and ensure LR. Githi/Kirerema/142 is shared equally among the following:a. Johnson Kamau Gachoka – ID No. xxxxxx b. Peter Gituru Kamau c. Rose Wambere Kamau d. Eddah Nyaguthii Kamau https://new.kenyalaw.org/akn/ke/judgment/kehc/2024/13938/eng@2024-11-05 1
