PETITIONER AND SOLOMON BOIT ................................................................................. 1ST OBJECTOR TOM KIPKOSGEI BOIT ..................................................................... 2ND OBJECTOR JONATHAN BOIT ............................................................................... 3RD OBJECTOR AND SERAH WANGARI CHERONO ........................................................... PROTESTOR RULING 1. While the 1st – 3rd objectors have clearly set on a path of painting the Court in negative light. This Court finds the application for recusal to be of no merit. 2. The same is accordingly dismissed. Parties shall bear their own costs. 3. However owing to the antagonistic approach deployed against a Court determined to facilitate conclusion of the probate. It shall be in the interest of justice that I recuse myself to allow the proceeding to be concluded by another judicial officer. 4. While I can clearly state that patriarchy is hampering the conclusion of this probate for personal reasons I shall recuse myself. 5. All pending applications shall be dealt with by the succeeding Court. https://new.kenyalaw.org/akn/ke/judgment/kehc/2025/13043/eng@2025-09-19 1
