The scramble for the estate of the late prominent Eldoret evangelist Edward Limo, worth several billion shillings, has taken a new twist after his family disowned his long-serving employee, who wants to be recognised as a beneficiary.

Ruth Jeruto Limo, one of the deceased’s children, has accused John Macharia Mulabi, who served as principal of one of the deceased’s private learning institutions, of using forged documents to claim a share of her late father’s vast estate, estimated to be worth more than Sh3 billion.
