The particulars are as follows; 3. i. The name Ephantus Kimori Mwangi be rectified to read Ephantus Kennedy Mwangi ii. The name Elizabeth Wangari Mwangi be rectified to read Elizabeth Mary Wangari Mwangi. The Court allows the rectification and a rectified Certificate of Confirmation of Grant shall issue to include the amendments in accordance with the provisions of Section 74 of the Law of Succession Act. https://new.kenyalaw.org/akn/ke/judgment/kehc/2026/2794/eng@2026-02-27 1
