In re Estate of Stephano Njoroge Njehu (Deceased) (Succession Cause 402 of 1993) [2026] KEHC 246 (KLR) (19 January 2026) (Ruling) Neutral citation: [2026] KEHC 246 (KLR) REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT AT NAKURU SUCCESSION CAUSE 402 OF 1993 JM NANG'EA, J JANUARY 19, 2026 IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OF THE LATE STEPHANO NJOROGE NJEHU (DECEASED) IN THE MATTER OF EUNICE WAITHIRA NYAMU ......................................................... 1ST APPLICANT JOYCE WANJIRU KINYURU ......................................................... 2ND APPLICANT MARGARET WAKANYI MLAMBA ............................................... 3RD APPLICANT RULING 1. By Summons dated 9/10/2025 the 3 Applicants seek revocation of Grant of Letters of Administration herein issued on 17/10/1994 to one James Mwaniki (now deceased) and confirmed on 15/11/1995. They contend that the deceased Administrator excluded them from Succession to the Estate of their father despite being his sisters. It is also argued that the proceedings were wrongly filed in this court which is said to be bereft of jurisdiction, the matter having arisen in Kiambu. 2. There are no responses to the Application from any other Beneficiaries. There is no evidence of service of the Application upon any heirs of the Estate of the deceased Administrator. The return of service filed appears to indicate notification of the Applicants alone. It was important to serve children of the Administrator or anyone else who may be in control of the Estate given that Grant of Letters of Administration was confirmed a long time ago and the Estate might have changed ownership. 3. In the circumstances, the Application is struck out with no order as to costs. J. M. NANG’EA - JUDGE Ruling delivered virtually this 19th day of January, 2026 in the presence of: Ms Akinyi Advocate for the Applicants Court Assistant, Jenifier https://new.kenyalaw.org/akn/ke/judgment/kehc/2026/246/eng@2026-01-19 1
