The High court in Nyeri has allowed dependants of eight co-partners, including those of the late President Mwai Kibaki, to share rent proceeds held in a bank account to quell an ownership row over a prime building in Nyeri.

Yesterday, Justice James Olola gave the beneficiaries of the eight joint owners of Mathingira Wholesalers Company Limited the green light to access money running into millions held in a bank account for 15 years.
