Introduction:

The protestor/applicant has challenged the confirmation of the grant of the letters of administration granted to Benson Gicovi as an administrator. According to the protestor, Benson Gicovi as an administrator has failed to give him a share of the land which forms part of the estate of their father.

Additionally, the protestor is also opposed to the proposed mode of distribution of the property of the estate.

In the light of the foregoing, I direct that oral evidence be produced to resolve the issues in dispute between the parties.
