Businessman Gerishon Kirima’s wife has moved to court seeking to stop her stepchildren from trespassing into a property in Dandora estate, Nairobi.
Ms Teresia Wairimu wants a declaration that she is entitled to exclusive management and running of the premise without interference.
She says the defendants’ actions are unjustifiable intrusion on her business premises and are therefore liable for damages for trespass. She is suing her six stepchildren and a brother-in-law for trespassing into a slaughterhouse.
Those sued are Bishop Gathoni Kirima, Wanjau Kirima, Anne Wangari, Maria Kirima, Margaret Wanjiru, Stephen Kirima and James Njuguna.
Justice Muga Apondi scheduled the matter for hearing next Tuesday.
Wairimu wants the court to issue a permanent injunction restraining the defendants from interfering with the management and the running of the slaughterhouse. She claims she voluntarily entered a consent order where she allowed Wanjau and Wangari to manage and run all businesses belonging to Mr Kirima.
The suit papers say the slaughterhouse business does not comprise part of the businesses agreed to be managed by the consent.
She says on the strength of the consent, the defendants have embarked on a mission to frustrate her and paralyse the slaughterhouse. The case will be heard on Tuesday.
