PETITIONER AND DORCAS WAIRIMU KAMBO ........................................................... RESPONDENT RULING 1. The summons for review and permanent stay of execution of directions/orders issued on 9th October, 2025 is without merit. 2. The Applicant had notice of the application giving rise to the directions/orders. 3. The Applicant controls one commercial property forming part of the estate. In Probate and Administration, the Applicant ought to have ceded control to Administrator. 4. To minimise adverse disruptions on the family of the deceased the Court directed the Respondent to account. 5. In this application the Applicant alleges to have spent significant amounts as maintenance without laying out her account. She in essence seeks to evade accountability. 6. I decline to exercise my discretion. 7. This is an old matter and the Court is determined to support the estate in concluding the probate. 8. The Application dated 19th November, 2025 is hereby dismissed with costs to the Respondent. DATED, SIGNED AND DELIVERED AT NAKURU ON THIS 23RD DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2026 MOHOCHI S. M.
