IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OF GEORGE KAMAU WAKANENE (DECEASED)

Between

James M Waraga

Applicant

and

Elizabeth Wanjiku Gitau

Respondent

Ruling

1. Having reconsidered the summons dated April 18, 2022 I am of the opinion that the same cannot be canvassed by way of written submissions. There are allegations of forgery and fraud made which will have to be proved by way of oral evidence. I therefore review the earlier direction and now direct that the application be canvassed orally.

RULING DELIVERED VIRTUALLY IN NAIROBI THIS 23RD DAY OF JUNE, 2023. …………………………………..MAUREEN A. ODEROJUDGEIn the presence of:Mr. Thuranira for PetitionerMr. Orina holding brief for Objector
