REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT NAIROBI (NAIROBI LAW COURTS)

Succession Cause 1051 of 1998

Before me is a Summons for confirmation of grant dated 18th May, 2009 filed by M/s Cheptumo & Company advocates for the applicants, in the estate of the late AMOS GACHUI GATHUA.The summons is supported by an affidavit sworn by the administrators MARGARET WAMBUI GATHUA and ALEX BENSON GATHUAsworn on18th May, 2009 as well as a further affidavit sworn by MARGARET WAMBUI GATHUA on 27th July, 2009. The further affidavit disclosed some additional assets.In this estate there were two wives, and I am told that one of wives HELLEN WANJIRU GICHUKI has passed away.She was replaced as an administrator by ALEX BENSON GATHUA.

From the documents filed it appears that all beneficiaries, including the minor children, who were two in number were catered for in the proposed mode of distribution.

I therefore confirm the grant of letters of administration.Distribution will be as agreed by adult beneficiaries.

It is so ordered.

Dated and delivered at Nairobi this 16th day of February, 2010.

George Dulu

Judge.
