The wealth left by former President Mwai Kibaki might be subject to a court battle with two people filing objections for the executors to be granted authority to manage the estate as per his Will.
On August 11, 2022, a gazette notice was published notifying Kenyans that the court would proceed to grant Kibaki's three children who he had appointed as executors of his Will powers to administer the estate and make distribution of inheritance to beneficiaries as per his wishes. The window for any persons to challenge the same was 30 days.
Following the gazette notice, a woman codenamed JNL filed an application before the family court arguing that she feared that the succession process would proceed without her being recognized as a Kibaki's daughter and involving her as a beneficiary. In her application, she claims that she attempted to access the documents filed in court but it was allegedly impossible.
