The court has extensively perused the two applications dated 19th December 2023 and 17th May 2024 and in particular the rival affidavits as well as the written submissions. I find that the issues raised therein in particular the need to revoke the grant and distribute the estate afresh as well as removing the widow (administrator) from administrating the estate raises serious issues. 2. The affidavit evidence cannot suffice. There is so much that needs to be discussed both factual and legal and therefore I direct as hereunder. (a) Both applications shall be heard by way of viva voce evidence. (b) The parties each granted 30 days to file, if any, further affidavits and or witness statement from the date herein. https://new.kenyalaw.org/akn/ke/judgment/kehc/2025/13233/eng@2025-09-25 1
