The family of former Minister John Joseph Kamotho has been directed to file their proposals in court on how the Sh260 million estate should be distributed.
Kamotho died on December 6, 2014, and is survived by his wife Eunice Kamotho and four children — Charles Gathii, James Mwai, Marianne Nyokabi and David Waweru.
Gathii and Mwai, are agreeable to their mother being the administrator of the estate but Nyokabi and Waweru have objected.
Eunice has since accused her two children Nyokabi and Waweru of hatching a plot to deny her a chance to administer the estate.
But the two say they want independent administrators to manage their late father’s wealth.
Justice Stephen Riechi on Wednesday said since parties have failed to reach an agreement on how the estate should be distributed, they should prepare their mode of distribution and have the same produced in court.
The court heard that the wife and two of her sons have already filed their preferred mode of distribution.
The dependents in the case are five.
The Judge subsequently directed that both sides file and serve their mode of distribution.
A signed list of beneficiaries who agree with the way the estate is distributed should also be filed by November 30.
The case will be heard on February 20 2023.
Kamotho had a Will detailing how his estate was to be shared but he died without signing it.
