REPUBLIC OF KENYA

IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT GARISSA

SUCCESSION CAUSE NO. 40 OF 2015

IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OF ABDULLAHI KALA HAPI (DECEASED).

RULING

This is a summons for confirmation of grant dated 29th August 2016 filed by the Assistant Public Trustee.

Though the application was filed before the lapse of six(6) months from the time the initial grant of letters of administration was issued on 13th July 2016, as Mr. Miyogo has explained to court that the heirs include minors who required payment of school fees from the funds, which is the only asset, I allow the application.  I thus confirm the letters of administration herein.  The distribution will be as has been determined by the Kadhi’s court under Islamic Law of inheritance.

Certificate of confirmed grant to issue.

Dated and delivered at Garissa this 20th September 2016.

GEORGE DULU

JUDGE
