Stewart Jalang’o v George Okoth Odongo [2017] KEHC 3601 (KLR)

Full Case Text

REPUBLIC OF KENYA

IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA

AT KISUMU

SUCCESSION CAUSE NO. 1349 OF 2013

IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OF EDWIN OKELO AGOT OKETCH

BETWEEN

STEWART JALANG’O.........................................PETITIONER/RESPONDENT

AND

GEORGE OKOTH ODONGO......................................OBJECTOR/APPLICANT

I have considered rival submissions relating to production of a marriage certificate in the names of Edwin Okelo and Rosa Otieno made by Mr. Odongo learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Anyul learned for the objector. I find that a decision as to whether the marriage certificate is authentic can only be determined at the conclusion of this case after the parties have tendered their evidence in respect thereof.

The objection by Mr. Odongo is therefore overruled.
